I went to petco to pick up a couple of thing s and they had tire track eels so i bought one for $11... what do other tire track owners feed theirs? and what is the growth rate of them i have had spiny eels before so i know their general care but have never been able to get my hand s on one of these till now he is only about 5" long i cant wiat untill hes over 2' and as thick as my wrist......
 
I had one that decided frozen prawns were the best, once it was hooked on them the growth rate shot up.
 
It´s true that frozen prawns is much better for the growth. I bought two tire track eels 6 months ago and they were the same size. One of them eats everything ( earthworms, bloodworms fish), the other one eats this too but he also likes prawns. After 6 months you can really see a that the prawn eater is about 1 inch bigger.
My advise is to keep on trying to make m eat prawns. If it doesnt like it in the begin, just feed it worms. If it does eat bloodworms try to defrost the prawns together with the frozen bloodworms. This way the taste of the bloodworms comes into the prawn. Start with really small pieces.
Good luck!
