[socko6774]

whats the best way to feed these guys?? and what type of food. i was thinking of getting a small one 5" , guys selling it for like 10$ .

krill, squid, silversides enriched in something for vitamens, garlic, etc. on a poity object like a piece of rigid air tubing buying one that is as thick as a pencil or thicker is easier to feed

I buy a couple of raw shrimp from the supermarket. give small pieces of that on a feeder stick. He loves it!!! comes looking for it a feeding time!!

in the name of one of the greatest marine biologist in the world krikey. i just feed mine by hand sliver sides raw shrimp and squid... he generally takes it right from my hand. haven't been bit yet

Because snowflakes are nocturnal, you'll have better luck feeding them at night with the lights dimmed if not off.
Soaking food in garlic is also good for the snowflake eel.
While others do use a feeding stick, I have always used my hands and never had any problems with him.
