Where the Marlboros go? Them are some nice eels. I have never tryed my hand at eels what fish you mix them with? Or are they alone?

I'm really not sure exactally shure what its (peacock) been eating. I know what its supposed to eat, but it hides all the time. It's just starting to get inquisitive so I'll be training it to hand feed very soon on cut smelt and Hikari food sticks.
M large eel eats frozen bloodworms and any kind of frozen krill, plankton or crayfishes. I lost many blue lobsters before I figured that out! lol
Here is the marlboro's for ya...
Pack a smokes
