How can I care for my eel on vacation?

I’m going away for 5 days, I have automatic feeders for my other fish, but my zig zag eel only eats live foods. Can my eel go without food for 5 days, or what could he eat while I’m away?

Should be more than fine without food.... in the wild they dont get to eat breakfast lunch and dinner everyday

Shouldn't be a problem. I have fish that only eat frozen. I was away for 3 weeks last year and someone I got to help feed my fish only gave pellets. If it still bothers you, put some ghost shrimp in with lots of hiding places so the eel can pick them off.

Ok, thanks, didn’t think it was going to be a problem, but wanted to make sure.
