Is it possible to wean my fire eel onto pellets or freeze dried/frozen foods?
Right now it is eating live leaf worms and live shrimp.
I thought it would eat frozen bloodworms, but no.
Also, I tried frozen krill. The eel picks it up and spits it out again. Same thing with sinking carnivore pellets, the eel seems interested at first, then spits it out. I tried soaking in Entice and Garllic Gaurd, but nothing.
The worms are cheap, 36 for $3 at the bait shop, but the shrimp are 100 for $55 shiped to me from Drs. F & S.
What else should the eel be eating? Is it just spoiled? Right out of the shipping bag the eel ate a frozen shrimp, why is it so picky now?
