they eat live food that can fit in there mouth u can feed flake if they will accept but slim. i feed mine black worms and when he gets bigger im gonna feed some gost shrimp and krill. but i suggest black worms or blood worms u can also feed adult brine shrimp. but u can try anything u like.
 
Had a large one a long time ago (RIP). He stayed fat & healthy for years and I don't remember ever seeing him eat. He was such an elusive eater that I didn't think he was eating anything at all for a long time after a got him. I fed mostly frozen shrimp & blood worms alternated with tetramin flakes that I sunk into the water. I'm guessing he was happy to suck anything out of the gravel he could find while I was asleep.
 
I have fed brine shrimp, scuds, fairy shrimp, glass shrimp, a variety of worms, and young livebearers. Feed just before lights out.
 
We feed ours prawn cockle and mussel all chopped or ripped depending on the size of the eel.
 
feed mine brine shrimp and occasional blood worms. mine also takes chopped shrimp. but bloodworm is my fire's favorite.
