How often do you feed your eel?

Thanks for the offer CAG RN,

I happen to like this site just fine actually, I have gotten some great advice from many of the more experienced members of this site in the past... two of them on this posting here have helped me before, as a matter of fact!

Anyways, I think this goes to show that we are all in this together and take our hobbies very seriously and personally. I don't think anyone means any ill will here, just dedicated people to an addicting hobby.

I will say this, it should be a habit for everyone posting here to try and qualify their remarks before posting them, in other words gathering info before rendering a verdict... I can honestly vouch for Germanman, Jojo, and several others from this site, as I often read the posts, and they are almost always asking for more info, unless they know the person posting from experience.

As an FYI, I may only have 90 some odd postings on this site, but I have actually been at this for nearly 10 years! I just don't post as much because I don't have the wide rang of experience that some of these guys have, nor the time that I wish I could have to do so. Kudos to the rest of the people that can post by the way, I don't know how you do it... I have two kids, both under 4 years old, how I find time for my tank or this site, is beyond me sometimes.

That is my two cents worth, I will stop boring everyone now.
 
Gomrjoe very good point and advice well worth taking. I did not mean to come off all high and mighty like one of the board posters states. I was simply shocked that someone would have an SFE in such a small tank. As Germanman stated in his follow up, his level of experience may allow him to do things that most of us wouldn't want to try.

Alright, here's my white flag. Hows about starting over here guys. I didn't mean to offend anyone as I said. I do get a little defensive at times so I was upset at the TROLL comment. I apologize for the response to that.

I don't want to get banned, I would like to benefit just as much from others who come here in search of information sharing for the hobby.

Sorry I started out on the wrong foot!

Well I'm glad we can come full circle and get back on track here. Note that this thread had almost closed due to the attacks and will be watched. This thread is filled with valuable opinions and it'd be great if we could all recognize that not all of us agree on the same keeping habits. We can help with our experiences and with each, is their own. Not one is better than the other and nothing is nothing without knowing all the things involved.

Now back to our program... ;)
 
So back to the question at hand!! I feed mine Just about every day!!!!! He loves his food. I do however feed smaller portions than most here due to the fact that I do feed every day, I just like to see him come out and eat, or should I say eat and run!
 
I am torn between trading him in or keeping him... I can't believe I am waffling on this now. The other day I wanted to definitely get rid of him for eating Nemo.

I only have my 100 gallon, thanks for the idea of another tank excuse Jojo, but I would probably be sleeping outside if I tried that. Anyways, I definitely want to keep my tank as a reef tank, I have to much invested in it to let an eel change my mind, and the beauty of it, so he will be off to the LFS where I bought him on Saturday.

Since I am still trying to save my Star Polyp (another thread), I will trade him in and load up on hermit crabs.
 
my eels only get fed twice a week, they are happy with that, but i do occasionally have to feed them more, but you can usualy tell by the way they act, but to "read" your eel, you need to keep him a little longer. :P
