SRC Member Beagle Posted October 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hey all, got a snowflake eel recently, what do i feed it ah? i feed mysis, feed bloodworm, feed seaweed, but it never eats the food. zzzzz. i read somewhere they eat crabs, does that mean i have to buy crabs all the time to feed it?

SRC Member limbssg Posted October 2, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 2, 2006 market prawns, squid, fish meat etc, cut into small slices and feed using the plastic tongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulspawn Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i feed mine those dried prawns. you must target feed. i've read that people hand feed them but i wouldnt suggest it.... mine was pretty blind and he normally just whacked whatever thats near the shrimp. so i used the feeding stick-thingy. my eel ate anything... i even saw it attack and gobble up my spotted sweet lips. thats y i gave mine away! it may take the eel a few days to adjust to your tank b4 it starts eating. but they r pretty hardy! good luck with ur snowflake!

SRC Member w3ish3ng Posted October 3, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2006 you use tong and there got food,of course he will come eat. you use hand try to pat the head, unless he thought your finger is food if not he go there for what? well, unless the fish is very close to you or is unhealthy, if not once they see your hand, all will siam one.

Bro, can use the cheapest shrimps from your neighbourhood market. Cut it into pieces in order to allow the smell to be released. Use a a pair of thongs and hold it in front of its lair. If you're not that patient, stick the shrimp at the end of a think transparent pipe. Those thin ones. The eel will not see anything else except the food then. Hope this helps!
