I got a new baby zebra eel he is about 4in long right now, im starting him off in a 20, and yes I will eventually upgrade him, but i need to know what to feed him, ive tried ghost shrimp and squid cubes and he dont seem to want them, what else could he eat? anyone?

Mine's a little larger,(30"+) but when I first got him, he would only eat frozen krill. I have since moved him onto vitamin enriched raw shrimp.

i payed $25 dollars for him at a LFS and I actually finally got him to eat. He did finally grab some of the squid i was putting in there, last night befor i settled down on my couch i fed my tank and he came right out and started munching.

hmm, odd, $25 for a zebra eel,r u sure its a zebra? most eels will be larger than that even. glad hes eating, just dont overfeed him. btw where did u get him? lebeanon or claremont pet? or did u get him somewhere else?
