Hy,
got a Mastacembelus armatus with around 25cm. How much food does he need? He ate 4 earthworms and a mealworm today. To much? OK? And how often should i feed him?

they're pigs and they will over eat if you let them. Get it on a schedule. I feed mine in the morning and at night. My tiretrack (which is as big as my arm) eats about 2 frozen food cubes at each feeding. My fire eel ( about a foot) does probably half that.

Thanks for the advice. He`s eating very good, only after a week he takes earthworms out of my hand. Love that eel!
