Look what I got today for only $15.59. I have been dieing to buy this guys since last year. I just hope that he/she will take frozen food, cause the pet store near me not always have ghost shrimp, and if they do it expensive $1.49 per dozen.
Can they take sinking pallets, like the ones made for catfish, corydoras and all those batton dwellers?

Nice G. tile eel. It should make a nice centerpiece to your brackish tank. Mine never took prepared foods. I fed it mainly on frozen silversides and cleaned, sliced squid (both bought cheap from a local oriental grocery store). For live foods, I offered it ghost shrimp, gammarus shrimp, baby crayfish, small kelp crabs, and young livebearers.
 
As I mentioned in the other thread, I was able to get two G. tile to readily eat Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets. The first one took awhile, going from feeders to frozen krill to pellets. The second one ate pellets from day one! :)
 
No way I would pay 30 cent a pop. I say 1.49 is expensive cause 12 ghost shrimps are not usually enough for one of my Oscars. ok so now do the math, 2 Oscars, one JD, One adult Red Zebra and some other african cichlid, plus the Eal........... How much Ghost shrimp I m going to buy a week? Therefore I will try those shrimps at the asian supermarket, frozen, and some chopp up squids or whatever you call it. Anyways I so so excited about my Eal, because its a wish come true. next goal is to get a way bigger tank and a Cuban Gar or a snakehead, maybe an aro.
 
I feed mine Hikari Frozen food, and human quality shrimp (cut up and defrosted, of course.) Just don't let it scare you if he goes on a "hunger strike" - mine's gone for 3 to 5 months without my seeing him eat, although I kept some feeder mollies and ghost shrimp in the tank.


As long as he's not swimming around the tank constantly, he should be good.
