are redworms ok to feed to eels?

Just wondering, but would redworms (not bloodworms) be ok to feed a peacock eel.
also, would it hurt an eel to be in a tank that had been treated for ick with salt? Was 1 tsp per gallon of salt, then a 30% water change was done.
would that amount of salt hurt an eel?

Anybody have any experience with these guys?

I think redworms would be OK. Make sure they're washed.

The salt should be OK, as long as you don't plan on keeping it at that level.

Well the reason I ask, is because I got one and it was fine, made it through the night, and even eat half a redworm in the morning. It was fine all the way into the afternoon, then I watched some tv and came back and it was belly up on the bottom and the other fish were picking at it. The other fish didn't pay it no mind untill then, it seemed fine and would swim around, and hide, and no one bothered it.
Do you have any idea, what might have caused it's dimise?

I forgot to mention that it was in my african cichlid tank, I know that the peacock is more of an acidic fish, but could that have really killed it so suddenly? Like I said, the other fish in there didn't seem to bother it at all.

No other takers?

Unless it went from really acidic water to really base water, I don't think that would have killed it. They are very adaptable fish.

What are your water parameters?
