Oh, I fed them enough. More than enough. Used to feed 3 times a week. I actually REDUCED the number of times I feed them. I feed them once every week to week and a half, depending on the size of the previous meal, and the voraciousness of their appetites. You must know, I have three morays cohabitating (Tesselata, Blackedge and Snowflake). Imagine the amount of poo from THAT.
Until you figure out what to do about the fish in your tank, I'd keep your moray pretty full with food. But you'll run into waste issues you never imagined-- but be vigilant about water changes, etc. , etc...blah blah blah , and monitor your levels DAILY for spikes in everything.... Good you said you have a fat skimmer--you'll need it.
I can't stress enough, though, that you'll need a bigger house for your moray (and your other fish...'cause they're going to get big, too).
I also recommend you watch for disappearing fish. If one disappears, it isn't hiding, it's dinner.
Hey, on the plus side, morays are super hardy. Does this make you feel any better?
Good luck new eel owner...you're braver than I!
***forgot to answer about feeding gloves. I don't use them. I use long feeding tongs made for reptiles. I also don't drop food in for them, I make sure each gets fed from the tongs. Eels are poorly sighted and can miss food on substrate. I'm just very careful about getting in their way when I clean the tank.
