Feeding eels feeder fish
 

Some say it's good, others say it's bad....

I hate to say it, but I bought the $25 tool from Petland...comes with a blade for cutting freshwater plants to trim them as well.

I tend to give my eels whatever they would get in the wild. Usually something with a shell on it, like cocktail shrimp, shell on. I seriously doubt they peel them in the wild before eating them. ;)

i use a feeding prong to feed my eels.look up what they eat naturally in the wild and feed them the same thing.do not feed them cooked foods(like hotdogs and cocktail shrimp )i peel my prawns as i don't want exoskeletons littering my tank as eels are a bit messy .i also try to only feed organic or live shellfish as i don't want to add excess chemicals into my system

I get the raw cocktail shrimp.

never seen a raw cocktail shrimp.they are all cooked here in vancouver; so they can easily remove the shells .it's even hard to get raw shrimp off the boats here

I feed mine raw, rinsed tiger prawns with shell removed using tongs. You can readily find raw prawns at most supermarkets.
