Keep offering food every couple days. As long as he isnt losing weight he is fine. My zebra eel took a month to eat when I got her. Its not abnormal for eels to be off feed when they first go in the tank

Pebbletooth eels are born female
usually will stay female unless there are two of them! Ive had both my pebbles for about 2/2.5ish years now.

My zebra loves shell on shrimp! Thats what she primarily eats. I feed all my eels LRS chunky, and silversides for my Jeweled eel. He is picky and wont eat anything else, so he gets his silversides soaked in vitamins. He will eat some Chunky sometimes
my zebra also likes chunky but shell on shrimp is her favorite and she gets very excited for them! Try that with yours, I bet he would take it right away when comfortable in the tank

Yeah most eels are actually good with eachother and from what Ive seen I would argue they like to be together!
