I have a G. tile that I got a couple weeks ago with a tank I bought. He's not had a problem with eating, but did regurge before I left on vacation for about 9 days. As soon as I got home, he ate and seemed very hungry.

Should I be feeding every day? Every other day? How much per feeding?
Right now, they (eel and toadfish) are eating Tilapia strips that I cut up. Before I got him, he was only fed krill...poor fish!

Any specifics would be a great help. How do you decide how much they should eat?

The guy also had a colombian "shark" that was very skinny (I saw some at the TX state aquarium, that were shorter length, and much more girthy) so, I'm assuming they were all underfed.

i feed my moray every day before i feed my archers
 
I used to feed mine once a day, I never had any problems besides the occasional hunger strike. And they would always resume feeding normally after a while. I fed tilapia and shrimp.
 
I feed mine every other day, usually silversides, krill, and shrimp. I had one years ago that as it got older only got feed every week or so
