Peacock eel help

How did you cycle? You said it was a brand new tank, how old? A tank will not just cycle within a couple days or even a few weeks from scratch.

Have you checked your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels yet? If not, please get a trustworthy liquid test kit (I recommend the API Master Kit) and check the parameters ASAP.

I got the Bio Balls From My older tank.

shouldn't that cycle it pretty quickly then? I seriously doubt the eel's lack of appetite is due to the tank being too new, they have always seemed like tough little sob's to me.
I think this is more of an issue with the eel it's self, they are just plain hard to feed sometimes. IMHO

It should, but you should still be monitoring the water params daily for any spikes.
