Feeding Spiney Eels

[Mr Miagi]

Hi there,

Several months ago i bought two Peacock spiny eels. So Far so good too. The first two weeks were hair rasing as both refused to eat . I finally achieved my goal and got both to eat some fine looking garden worms, now i have no problem.
Accept i was wondering if anyone else knew some other foods my two peacock spiny eels would enjoy.

Thankyou, Ben

All spiney eels enjoy bloodworms and once they are feeding well will take frozen bloodworm in huge ammounts.

Yes bloodworm is a favourite, but when they get larger prawn/shrimp and lance fish go down a treat! I haven't been able to get any four of my eels to eat processed food at all though....however they do hand feed quite readilly as all eels tend to be very curious, and tend to search for food by scent rather than sight.

Cheers, im sure my spiny eels will be very greatful for the prawns or shrimp. I will try itt as soon as i can get my hands on some! Thanyou
