What are you feeding the fire eel?

I have like 15 small feeders in the tank and bloodworms

Give it 3 days to a week and it will start eating. Mine started on frozen blood worms.

How are the water parameters like ? Try feeding in dark or put the food in and move from there. I doubt feeder would be any help at this time. Frozen worm would do. If these worms are in water for long , remove them and try putting some new in 6 to 7 hours.

If the frozen worms are still being ignored you may have to try live blood worms, or black worms

Eish any other way I'm trying to stay away from live insects

Tbo that's the only other suggestion I have, hopefully the fire ell will get hungry enough and start eating
