Kirtis,
You should not feed marine fish with fresh water fish. They get fatty liver from it and can often get liver damage from long term eating fresh water fish. I just ge pieces of salt water fish and feed it to your eel using a stick.

what do you mean pieces of saltwater fish ?

Go to your local market and buy fish fillets (eg. Cod fish, salmon, or smelt). Slice them in pieces. Use a rigid airtube, place a piece of fish on it, move it on the eel's snout for him to sense the food.
