white ribbon eel

[hardasaroc]

i got a white ribbon eel just the other day and ive heard that is is hard to get them to eat but i got some live ghost shrimp and pored them in and he would swim over them and try to catch them bbut he just couldnt bc they would pop away. So i got a few and squished them so they were half dead and he swam over them and ate them. I have read up on them and it said that they have very very poor eye sight. but ill get some pics up of him soon.
Thanks

Get frozen or fresh raw shrimp from the grocery store. Make sure they aren't cooked.
My Eel eats them up, and yeah, judging by the way he searches for food after he smells it in the tank I'm sure he can't see much unless it's right on his nose.

Eel have a good sense of smell. He'll be alright
