sometimes eels will go without food for weeks. I just moved my tank, and my eel wouldnt eat for about 3 weeks. Try something besides krill though. Go to your grocery store and get some fresh seafood. Shrimp, mussels, clams ect. Wash the meat off really good and try to feed it to your eel by hand or with a feeding stick.

i have 2 eels about 4 years old and when they were small i gave them frozen squid that you can buy at the local fish store. they also like catching ghost shrimp. now their favorite is a live raw clam but beware: you need to clean the guts out of it first cause there is bacteria that i wouldn't want my eels to eat.the clams poo poo sack is like a filter so i cut that out before i give it to my guys.they also have pkg of frozen clams for when i can't get live (no poo poo in those paks) good luck!

mine accually eats almost daily about 4 or five frozen krill i stick feed .but i have read that normal feedings are to be once to twice a week.when feeding your other fish watch his behavior if the food gets you a reation try giving him some food if he stays hidden when food is present in the tank he probly isnt hungry. what i have noticed mine doing is he stock piles his food becus i stick feed he gets one peace at a time.he pokes his heat out of his rock snatches the food and hides then repetes this about 4 or 5 times when he notices the feeding time has ended he goes into his hole and eats.
