How to direct the food to the fish

[scs]

I recently purchased 2 snowflake moray eels, and they seem responsive when i put the forzen krill in the tank, yet they haven't taken a bite out of any of it. I'm wondering if it's because they can't find it....(I'm just letting it go in the water column) Should i somehow direct it towards there face, and than just slightly wave it around? Wouldn't that scare them away though?
Thanks

Just get a pack of wooden skewers at the store,

the krill and then wave it in front of the eel. When it is ready to eat, it will attack it.

eels have poor eye sight but an excelent sense of smell so i agree put it on some kind of feeding stick that is what i do with mine i doubt he would find it if i just dropped in some krill

I have to hand feed my SFE I use a feeding stick. Just wave the food in front of him and watch him tear it off the stick. Very cool to watch

I use feeding tongs for all my eels (actually, BBQ tongs I got at Walmart). Eels don't see well, so getting that food right in front of their mouths is the best way to make sure they will eat---and that the food won't lay around and rot in your tank.
