I feed my fire eel and tire track eel live red wrigglers. For the TT, I pick out the smallest ones. It's surprising how large of a worm they can handle, if they can figure out that they're supposed to eat it from the end, not from the middle. Both of them started eating within just a couple days of introducing them to their tanks.

You can also cut up some salad shrimp from your local grocery store or fish market. I feed all my fish small chunks from time to time and works great for picky feeders.
Mine didn't eat for about week to. Try cut up night crawlers and drop it right infront of his nose.
they can quite stubborn, i tried starving mine for a period of time, every now and then , i throw in pieces of market shrimp, she will smell it , but after that took no interest in it anymore. finally after 3-4 days or so, i gave up. And i fed her ghost shrimp. now she wont eat anything other than ghost shrimp. perhaps she likes the thrilled of hunting her own meal.
