Hey guys so I got a tiny lionfish and a tiny snowflake eel. The eel is at most 8" long and no thicker than 2 pens and the lionfish is roughly 2" or so. I've fed them mysis shrimp but they need something bigger the mysis shrimp don't seem that filling since they eat so many of them and I have to sit there and feed them for a good 15mins with a turkey baster. I thought about krill but I feel like that might be a bit too big. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can feed them?

If you go to the fish market they sell smail White Silver sides, which should be fine. I usually get them in the fish markets by China town, so you maybe only able to find them there. I also buy something called Daisy Shrimp, which look like krill. They come in a sealed package, and are soft. All my fish eat them like crazy.

Also, don't worry about the size being too large, as unless it's way to big the Eel should be able to swallow it.
