Day two was much better. i got some shrimp for him this morning and it didnt last 3 seconds. what does this eel need to have a balanced diet? i have an order in for some squid. how long till i need a protien skimmer on this 10 gal? i have a small hanging filter with carbon and a bio wheel. is that giving him enough oxygen or do i need an air stone?
:i just got an 8" tesselata. i put him in my 90 gal with a 5" panther grouper and a large lion. :( they both started trying to eat him. all they see is a little head and dont know there is seven more inches to him. i got him out and put him in a 10 gal by himself. just till he gets bigger to hold his own. then he will be moved to a 235 gal corner tank. he acts hungery and all i have at the moment is frozen krill that i put on a chopstick and tried to feed him. he comes and touches it with his nose but wont take it. i have read past messages about how often to feed but what do you guys recommend feeding a little guy like this? i always freak out until my new fish (or eels) start eating. by the way, my lfs guy knows someone with access to a 4000 gal tank (give or take) that this little guy will move to when he goes for my arm and everything else, lol.
