Hey all,
I recently got a young peacock eel for my tank. It's been about two weeks, actually. He spends most of his time in the day hiding, but comes out at night... well, some night.
Anyways, he's only about 3" long, maybe 4" at the most. He's just a tiny little fella, but I haven't seen him eat at all. I've put in sinking wafers for him and I've also tried giving him bloodworms. I started trying to shove them into the cave where he spends most of his time before lights out. That didn't work. So last night, I took an empty, clean bottle and put bloodworms in there and sunk in down into the gravel, hoping he'd find it in there while my rams would not. Unfortunately, it was still there in the morning. I have no idea what else to try - I've heard they love earthworms but, he's so tiny...
Any suggestions? Is he still too small to eat ghost shrimp? I know it takes them a while to get acclimated and such, but I really just want him to eat.
