I've had my Tiretrack Eel for less than a year now and he's getting huge (got him around 5-6", is now almost 21")! Which is all fine and dandy, but I'd like to switch him to more nutritious foods than nightcrawlers. It's been the only thing I can get him to eat besides bloodworm cubes, but I've heard they don't have that many nutrients in them anyways and he can eat half the package at this point. I've been trying to get him to eat tilapia chunks or raw shrimp but he just isn't interested.
He hasn't eaten in well over two weeks and I finally broke down and got him more worms. Should I wait longer and see if he'll eventually take the food? I also have been trying to use garlic guard to entice him further, but with no luck. My next idea is to put his worms in the garlic guard and see if I can trick him with some tilapia strips scented with it in the future, but I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated!
