My snowflake eel has not eaten since i have had him. Its been five days and he does not seem a bit interested in anythin i have offered him. I have been trying feeder goldfish because the store where i got him was feeding him these. I thought that they might be a little big for the eel to handle do i have tried guppies and tetras. He doesnt seem at all interested. I tried to hold krill on a stick in front of his face but he will not eat. I am getting desperate!! what should i do???

There is apparently something in your water parameters that differs from those at the store where you purchased him. Five days is sufficient time for him to adjust to the tank if he is going to adjust at all. At this point I would talk to the owner of the store where you purchased him and explain to him that the snowflake is apparently not going to adjust to your tank, and that for the sake of the snowflake would he take the snowflake back and give you a store credit for some other fish that is more adaptable to your tank before the snowflake eel begins to debilitate. If he is a responsible store owner he should understand this. If not you might want to look at purchasing future fish somewhere else.
