Feeding stick for eel!

johnyboy · Jan 10, 2017

Hey reefers,

As you have seen from my other posts I bought a dwarf golden moray. He is so awesome and I'm so excited but he is not eating. I seen him eat at the fish store but now he isn't eating at my house. I need to get a stick to I can feed him chunks and keep it in front of his face. Any suggestions on where to buy a feeding stick or make one ? If there is I would like to do it right now if there is a mom and pop shop I can go to to make one. Thanks!

Eels only need to eat about every 3 days or so, a couple times a week. I feed them all they take at one sitting. You can use a rigid air line from the lfs, cut it at an angle on the end. I like using tongs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006JM0DK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We always used a piece of rigid airline tubing with a section of straightened paperclip shoved into it to skewer the food on, then you can easily place it right in front of their faces so they take it. Pretty simple to make and nearly free!
