A 30 gallon is TOO SMALL!! These fish can get over 2 feet long in most aquarium settings. They are a high bioload fish and do not belong in a tank that small.
They also grow quite fast so getting one and planning on an upgrade in the future is not a good idea unless you are upgrading soon. They are also escape artists, invert eaters and consumers of small fish.

Thats True, that particular eel does a killing on your bio load, I first purchased mine at about 6 inches then in 6 month's, it went up to a foot long.

I have a Hawiian Dragon Eel, and I feed him shrimp twice a week. I have tried giving him squid, scallops, and clams as well, but he only likes shrimp. I cant find silverslides at any of my LFS so he hasnt had them yet (Im Not Paying For Overnight Shipping!).
