I have had my golden dwarf moray for 26 days now, he has not taken my food once i currently am trying baby mollies i was trying frozen silversides but he didn't take them so i stopped and went to live and he just won't take it, any ideas on what to do?

What time of the day are you trying to feed it?

 

Have you tried feeding it shrimp, squid, or octopus? Some can be very picky eaters.

 

Eels can go on eating strikes. Many can do that for about a month, so I wouldn't worry too much just yet. But I would try giving it other options.

 

Here's an old thread that might help out http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/186609-new-golden-dwarf-moray-not-eating/

Okay thank you, i have heard they can go on like 5 month feeding streaks and be fine after it, the reason I'm worried is I'm about to upgrade from my nano to a 100 gallon tank and I'm sure that will stress him putting him in a new tank but i mean it couldn't be worse than his failed attempt to go carpet surfing and landing in a fw tank

Never owned that eel but on a few snowflakes in the past I had to use the ghost shrimp to get them eating. Than once they were excited I used a frozen silverside on a feeding stick and he eventually took it.
