Ok, so after a few days of research/rehousing some fish I have bought a peacock eel. I have him in a 20gal tank with just a loach, oto, and a couple of guppies. I have a few questions:
1) I have found very little info on eel compatibility with other fish. I have heard they can or will eat smaller fish, is that common? And also could I keep a bamboo shrimp with my peacock eel?
2) I know they have a preference for meaty food, especially bloodworms is what most people say to feed him. I have some, but also have some brine shrimp that have been in the freezer for a while that I would like to get rid of first. If I stuck some shrimp in a shallow dish with gravel on the bottom of the tank, would he take that? Are they picky eaters?
3) Also, do they tend to be more diurnal or nocturnal feeders?
Your help is greatly appreciated in my first venture into the eel world.
