feeding snowflake eels

[Loralie]

Just wondering how often you should feed snowflake eels? Josh had one and now I have been hand feeding it every two to three days. I feed it either Krill or shrimp pieces. It eats like crazy, so should i be feeding it daily?

I feed mine about 4 medium cocktail shrimp every 3 days. I used to feed him until he got full but now I think that would be 8 shrimp now .

It's important their hunger is properly satified or they will go after fish.

Thanks Barry. I am going to start feeding him more on the days I feed him. He is blind as a bat i think, because he allways knocks the food off the feeder stick, then he can't catch it. i started feeding him by hand, but about half the time he bites my hand....and his grip is getting better.
