are garden eels hard to feed??

[ViaSandee]

@rosenekokitty Yes, very hard to feed - they're skittish and don't always popup to grab the food that floats by ... and they stay buried. so you really need to "target" their feeding. I feed mysis, brine, etc. They're are great little characters - very entertaining! :)

[rosenekokitty]

@ViaSandee what do you mean by target feeding? any suggestions on feeding will be helpful ^^

[ViaSandee]

Use a turkey baster thingie ... and squirt mysis in their general direction. Other fish will most likely eat everything that floats by the eel ... you you need to get it right by him, so he can grab it! :)

tank size please and tell me how many gallons i should have for one and are they hard to care for please lemme know im subscribing!

[ViaSandee]

You'll need at least 5" of sand and a tank greater than 60g. Have fun! They're a bit hard to feed, but take your time!
