How often to feed my peacock eel?

Question

i did have a black moor goldfish in with my peacock eel, but i gave the goldfish to the petstore. i had them without a heater and the temp was only 65 degrees so i got a heather and it now stays constant at 77-78 and my eel is a lot more active. he was at that temp of 65 for a week. i tried flakes and bloodworms with no luck, but tried some small live earthworms and he ate them. He now has 4 new tank mates. they are 4 dwarf gouramis, also 2 ghost shrimp,, one died. or was killed, and now i can only find one.. haha maybe the eel had a new snack! i hope so!. my tank is ten gallons and i do weekly 20% water changes is cycled and healthy. My question is how often should i feed the eel the live worms, and will the eel and dwarf gouramis get along well?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yep that is what eels do, eat. If you intend to keep your eel with other fish, feed him less but every day. That way he will leave your fish alone. Eels can eat a lot. I don't know how big your eel is but feed him every day for the sake of your other fish. See how much he will eat in one day. Give him worms until he won't eat anymore. This way you know what his feeding requirements are. Don't be suprised however if he won't eat the next day. Sometimes they will go three days without eating.

Answer 2

attempt frozen ingredients as a replace of freeze dried. Frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms are solid for small ones, and you will initiate with krill as he gets a splash bigger. Use an prolonged pair of tweezers, or maybe your hands, and attempt to deliver it directly to the eel. If this would not artwork, initiate him on stay blackworms.

gaurmis are smart fish, but not the best hunter, probebly best not to have the gaurmis in there too. You also might want to get a bigger tank for ph balance
