That's funny I fed mine octopus tonight also, he almost comes out of the tank. I get this awesome combo pack at the asian market; octopus tentacles. baby octopus, and squid. he goes crazy over squid too. I have a legally blind pink tail trigger in my 210 fowlr that I stick feed, he loves octopus and squid also, the others not so much. I also feed shrimp and silversides. I tried other types of fish but it was too messy.

Here's Ralph. He was being rowdy because he was about to eat
Went into observation on Tuesday. Took some krill off of a stick yesterday so I feel confident. I had some live small mollies and ghosties living with him, I saw him trying to catch a ghostie yesterday. He was very timid about taking him down; he's about 2' and very thin so he still might be a baby. I figured I'd try and stick feed him, I had to make the pieces really small but he took a fair amount. I'll try again tomorrow.

My snowflake is getting big I should take a newer pic. I got this guy at maybe 8" he was pretty small but now he's over 12" and a lot thicker.
In the past I kept garden eels. I had to give them away before I moved. Some of my all time favorite creatures to keep. The splendid (orange ones) are not as hearty as the regular spotted ones.

My eel sure loves some chopped octopus. What are you all feeding yours?
My last golden dwarf turned down everything I offered in the first two weeks. Shrimp, cod fillet, oyster, scallop... so I tried squid and he instantly took it. With this eel I had him eating two days after he arrived. Dwarfs love squid.

Lots of dwarfs on here. This is Bobby. He is my second dwarf (I lost my first during a tank transfer. I think he burned himself wrapping around a heater). He made it through a 76 day QT while the DT was fallow for velvet (Didn't eat for over a month during a CP treatment) but immediately found his new home under a rock. He eats whatever is on the tongs. He eats squid, whitefish, silverslides, scallop, clam, etc.
