Hand-Feeding Fire Eels

Mine took massivore pellets last night but spit them out because they were too big....that's my new mission: to get my eel on pellets, lol. Thats one feat I haven't conquered in the fish world.
I have an elipsifer. He was my first eel and the coolest fish I have ever owned. He's very interested in his surroundings and loves to eat. I use to hand feed mine. When he was small he would sometimes miss and grab my palm and start twisting. I thought once he was bigger he might do damage.
He hasn't been too difficult. When I first got him he would only eat blood worms, then one day he started eating pellets.

I've never seen a huge one like some of the fire eels but some Websites say 20 inches.. I'm hoping for larger! He's a rockstar!
Yeah those don't get too big. I wish Peacock Eels got bigger but I think Fire Eels definitely get the biggest, Tire Tracks get huge too.
So, I've had this fire eel for about a 6 months and have never seen him eat. Finally I tried some earth worms and WOW!!!! he eats them out of my hand. This fish just got 1000 x's more cool. The black spotted eel already eats anything out of my hand but this is a milestone for the fire eel! YES!
