How much and how often do you feed your Eels?

Holy crow! King crab legs!!!???? Man those are some spoiled eels!

I think it might be time to do feedings every 2 days.

I have 2 snowflakes, I feed every 2-3 days (depending if they are looking for food). I feed silversides (sometimes muscles or krill if they'll take it, but mostly silversides) I use the hikari silversides (they're bigger, about 3") and my smaller eel will eat 1 or 2 and my bigger eel eats 2 or 3.

I used to have two snowflake but only one now cause the other one jumped out to his death. This one is like 6" and his is getting bigger and bigger. I give him squid, shrimps, krill. I feed him every 2 to 3 days.

I've had my snowflake for 8 years. Every second day I feed it at least 10 krill or around 5 silversides depending on their size. I usually keep feeding until it begins to settle down. At first the eel will take the food very aggressively but once it begins to get a bit full it will slow down and bite the food more lazily. On the days when I don't feed it usually doesn't even come out of the rocks. I've offered squid before but it usually spits it out. However once or twice a month it will eat a couple raw clams or mussels.
