When I first got mine, he went right into the rockwork and I didn't really see him for a couple days...Now He is out quite a bit, especially at feeding time. I've been feeding mine Silverside, he goes through cycles where he'll take 2-4 large ones for a few days in a row then he may go another 3-4 days without eating, everything I've read about them states this as normal. Their eyesite isn't the greatest, he'll come right to the surface looking for food and sometime I have to tap him on the nose before he see's it, once he does though, look out, almost like a dog, he grabs the silver side and shakes it back and forth as if he's trying to kill it...

Speaking of which....I consider anyone who hand feeds their eel to be, quite simply, an idiot taking a risky chance. There is no way to hold the food without getting the scent of it on you, and as they can't see well, it's just a matter of time....

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.

feeding eel
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
