Initially an eel may need luve food to setlle them in, live ghost shrimp wohld be a good starter. Then various strips if seafood, make them no wider than the width of his eyes and and about 3/4 long. Tongs may be intimidating for small eels and may have to use a clear feeding stick, like an airline tube from the lfs.

Krill should fed very sparingly, if at alll, due to leading to nutritional defencencies, which will lead to death.
