Fish Fanatic
I bought my spiny peacock eel last saturday (5 days ago) and have not seen him eat once. He is small, only about 3-4 inches currently so I cannot feed him earthworms.
I have tried both frozen and freeze dried foods (Brine and Mysis shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia). I drop them in front of him, wiggle them directly in front of him with tweezers, and he just stares at them. He is healthy (very active and doing normal burrowing rituals) but doesn't seem to eat.
What else can I try at this point to get him to eat? How do I know if he is indeed eating and maybe I just don't know it?
