snowflake eel

What are some foods that a snowflake eel may like. I have been feeding him raw shrimp. Will he eat marine pellets.

What size is he? My eight inch snowflake eel eats any of the frozen marine fish foods (San Francisco Bay and Hikari) and Hikari Marine -A-, which is a pellet.

You definitely want to add some variety to his meals.

He's about 12 inches all of my levels are ok

We feed ours at work, frozen Dillies, Krill, cockle, even frozen squid from the supermarket but they wont take any form of dried food !

I had a Gymnothorax tile for 6 years and it never ate any dried foods either, although most frozen foods like krill, shrimp, fish were accepted. There's a video somewhere of Gymnothorax polyuranodon eating pellets..but I've had only 4 species of moray and none took to pellets.

I hvae been feedin him raw shrimp from the grocery. He seems to be doing just fine.

Please avoid feeding raw shrimp only, as it contains thiaminase. A variety is better. Please read here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_6/volume_6_1/thiaminase.htm
