Hi there !

Thanks for caring and for helping me out....

The problem is that I'm from a very small town here in India and I dont get so much variety of Food, Fish, accesories etc... anyways I guess I'll have to buy some sinking food online only....

Ha! You wish :). Those eels won't eat anything other than live black worms. I have a 6" one, very nice looking fish they are.

Mass.
I have also read that they will eat canned sardines (just make sure that they are packed in water, not oil ). Good luck !
