Eel feeding made easy

[Surfdog]

I was at a large grocery store that caters to people from the Orient, called TNT and found pre-packaged frozen mini Octopus.

The pack has 16 individualy frozen Octopi in each package. They break apart easily and my Morays and Ribbons love it. I use 6 per feeding.

After I defrost em, I also cut off a few tentacles, the Ribbons love them and I do not need to trim to feed, I give my Ribbons 3 each.

I feed my two largest Eels, a Zebra and a Black Edge 1 whole one each. I cut up the other ones into large chunks for easy feeding.

Just thought I'd share...

I've read about people using octopi as a main ingredient in home-made fish food for marine fish. I've looked for packages like that but non to be found in the small rural city were I live.

I'd love to see a feeding time video (hint hint )

I will keep my eyes open for those! where in SE Ontario are you? and how much did you pay for a pack?

[Surfdog]

Mine is the TNT in Ottawa, just off of Hunt Club. $3.99 a pack of 16. I believe you can get these in any asian specialty food shop...

Cliff, don't mind shooting the video but the 4 hour upload time to youtube is a killer! But your right, when the big boys grab one whole, I imagine its just as in the wild, tentacles flailing...

The company is Ocean MaMa, it's imported from Vietnam by
Frobisher INT'L ENT. LTD.
Delta, BC, V3M 6C7

Maybe contacting them will give you a distributor near you...
