Congrats. I have never got any of my eels to feed on flake food. To be honest i enjoy hand feeding with bloodworm, so i don't think that it really matters.

Good job, they can be real buggers to get onto flake. I've only had a couple who would touch it and IME find that the younger they are the more likely they will be to take it in addition to other foods. The ones who have taken flake in the past weren't fed it exclusively though as I personally don't think it would be a good everyday staple diet for an eel but more of a way to vary their diet.

'Aquarian' Tropical Flake Food (www.aquarian.com)

it wasnt even for him, it just fell on the floor for the cories, but he gobbled it up, now whenever i feed flake, he always catches the little bits which fall to the floor of the aquarium


such a good boy
