My zebra eel seems to only like to eat head on shrimp and prawns from the grocery store. He ignores squid and silversides.

Any recommendations on what I can feed him for a varied diet?

Mine is the same, she only ate table shrimp for a while. Ive slowly gotten her to accept LRS chunky for the variety. She sometimes eats sliversides but not much as thats not their normal diet. They like crunchy inverts the best. She eats a lot of shell on shrimp from the grocery store. LRS chunky is good cause it has other meaty food and more inverts in it. Maybe continue to offer that as well as shell on shrimp and see if yours starts to accept it. Is it a new eel? And also not surprised about the squid. I have 4 morays and none will eat squid. My grouper wont even eat squid… 😂
 
Mine eats frozen Squid, crab, shrimp. Fish i believe is not
Part of their standard diet
