White mouth eel feeding question???

[windgrace03]

I just got my White Mouth 2 days ago and he acts like he is starving to death. If I feed my fish some squid and shrimp he will go up and steal it from them. So my question is how often should I feed him? He won't touch the frozen brine shrimp cubes.

I dont have a predator tank or nothing but i would suggest going to the grocery and looking in the fresh seafood area....How big is he? Get chunks of fish. Feed him with tongs twice a week and hopefully thatll fill him up a lil bit.

first off how big is your tank as this may affect the morays feeding as it might be a phychologocal issue with the tank size or bad water conditions in a small tank
How big is the eel? If over 3 ft feed once a week ish, but if under 3ft then feed twice a week with tongs as 1guydude said - feed shrimp, squid, crab, fish and krill to keep your eel healthy and a varied diet.
Just keep in mind this eel gets about 4ft in lenght and its girth is MASSIVE when fully grown which means a protien skimmer and extremely good filtration will be needed if not already obtained.
hope this helps
