Here's mine, he's a striped one. Got him 2 days ago. He's about 5"-6". Haven't seen him eat yet. What do you guys feed your peacock eels?

They are Dainichi color fx baby chichlid sinking pellets. I feed about 10 pellets every night that I don't feed bloodworms.

Aw man, thats terrible. They are great fish...so do you buy the 2oz can of the pellets? I dont want to spend too much if he doesnt eat them.

They are tiny pellets and some of my other fish eat them too, so I feed ten and I figure that my eel will probably eat 4 pellets.
I bought the pellets in a bag. And the bag is still full of pellets after 3 months of owning my eel.
