What do you mean my expertise?

I figured that you started this thread for a joke, I figure that I would just add to the comedy.

I am sorry. If your confused then why be on this thread, no offense or anything. I am new to eels and obviously I am not as experience as you with eels so either help or don't.

No need to get your panties in a knot, Jr.
He may be referring to you subject of your poll...maybe he's not understanding that.
Quite a few people have already explained that you use a feeding stick, or a bamboo skewer, you can feed by hand, with tongs...all kinds of ways.
Me, personally?...I like to stick the raw squid inbetween my teeth and let my Hawaiian Dragon and Whitemouth Moray take it from my mouth.

Wow. That's some serious payments for fish. Will they ever mate or is that a dumb question?

Dragon eels mate in the late summer when water temp is very warm, for what I discovered in this is, it is difficult to accommodate the eels with a study temp that has to be perfect and stable for weeks on end for to my knowledge, none every mated in captivity.
Some years ago on person dragon moray laid eggs, but I was able to tell that his male never fertilized the eggs for as well, he never shown me both, so I no idea if he even had a pair of both were females. For as well, I learn later that his nitrate levels for eggs were dangerously too high, for as well, one would need to maintain their tanks nitrate levels at untraceable levels.

check out my threads where i put my hand inside my four foot tessalata's mouth before you start flaming people.....oh wait you already did that.....just because you have a monster stank hole does not meen very one else does.....hey do not get me wrong i am not against feeding an eel with a feeding stick but dont get on here and flame me becuase you are scared of what an eel will do to your hand.....when you get the webbings of your fingers ripped off by a green moray and it does not heal for 2 weeks because your blood does not clot.....then maybe then i will listen to your ignorance....but until then, close your d*&k sucker.......sorry for all those who are offended....but just for some proof i am going to stick my hand in the face of my tessa and my reticulated moray while my girlfriend takes pictures so i dont have to be flamed by some ignorant loser every time i make a post...ill have some pics in a jiff in a new thread
