spotted garden eel

[kelmart]

ok so when i came onto the forum the other day one of my 3 garden eels wasnt eating and was hiding in the filter instead of burrowing , after trying to keep her going she sadly died yesterday :sad1:
however my other 2 are going strong and are gaining weight steadily and are also gaining in confidence , appearing and waiting for their meals .
my question is they mainly eat frozen mysis with brine shrimp every now and again , but they absolutely prefer the brine shrimp and polish most of it off quickly , could i swap the amounts around say give mainly brine and mysis every now and then ?

Eventually they will go for mysis more and more. I've been keeping them for several years. Initially I could never get them to even look at PE mysis. Seriously they'd hide in the sand because they were afraid of it. Now they actually eat it, although an occasional big one will still cause a scared.

Just keep mixing the mysis and brine and go with less and less brine. Although I don't see a problem with them eating some brine as I still feed a mix to mine.
