As the title says, what should I be aiming for?
it's a G. Tile juvenile, 11" and underfed, kept in poor quality water right now.

Ph;
Hardness;
Salinity;

sensitivity to strong current?
Light hours per day?
General good-to-knows?

the man or woman, boy or girl who answers this I will dub my idol. It will arrive tomorrow so a quick answer would be lovely.

Am I invisible, asking the wrong question or just in a truly inactive forum?

Sorry, I don't know how I didn't see this thread.

Anyway, yeah all of that info is spot on. If you have any questions on feeding, lemme know.

I could use some tips on feeding..
 
They will typically very willingly eat feeder shrimp or fish, but back when I had one, I weaned it off live food and would feed mostly fresh shrimp, frozen silversides, frozen krill, and stuff like that. Depending on the tankmates, you might want a feeding stick so that the food could reach down to the eel
