I've kept several Gymnothorax tile in the past under light brackish to brackish conditions (SG 1.002 to 1.009) and have never had any problems getting them to gobble up Hikari Sinking Carnivore pellets. Try it, you will be surprised!

WOW THIS IS SO FREAKING AWSOME! I just brought a snowflake or like the pet store called a marbal Eal. I brought it today just 3 hours ago and I came to post it on the site, but them I read this post. mines looks exactly like the last pict you got here.. exactly and I brought ghost shimps and they didnt eat either. So I should wait for a week? and can they eat crickets too or only live food?
I will do my best to post a pict of him/her.
 
its better to keep snow flake eels in brackish to salt.

Depends on whether you are referring to E. nebulosa (a SW species) or G. tile (which can range from very light brackish to SW).

I'm not Guppy, but I will take it as a compliment. I am located along the same freeway (I-5) but about 500 miles further south. :D
 
Most eels will take any meaty food, (not just live) once they start feeding, may like to feedin dim conditions, a friend left a dim blue bulb on in the late evenings for feeding times, some eels like moving food so feeding sticks or long chop sticks are required.

hes about twice this size now pushing 18".. cool fish and he's in pretty much fresh water. I add the recommended aquarium salt for tropical fish to the tank. So it can be done. I have had this fish for exactly one year now and he eats every night.
