FWIW, I thought I read many accounts (I could be wrong and my memory suspect) of people only feeding once or twice per week. My old eel would not eat more than once per week. My current guy, I could feed him like crazy krill after krill (or squid, or mussel, or "Michika's blend" or whatever she calls that food, formula one cubes .. mysis .. etc.) but since December he's slowed right down. I don't even bother trying now except for every other day or unless he lets me know he wants food (he shows up in one of the "feeding spots" - there are 3 areas he'll show up in if he's wanting food. He's actually pretty good at giving me cues. He'll take a krill, if he wants another, he'll be back in the feeding spot within 10 seconds. This gets repeated anywhere from 1 to 4 times. When he's done, he simply doesn't come back.)
