Hey folks,
I've been spending the last several months dicing whole frozen squid in my kitchen into bite size pieces that my snowflake can swallow. Pretty tired of it. Dreaming of the day she can just down a whole, grocery standard "small" squid.
Part of the dicing process is unfortunately cleaning the squid (taking all the guts out). I feel like in the wild, this is a large part of the nutrition an eel gets from nabbing a squid. Problem is, in my tank if i take a thawed cross section cut of a squid and try to feed it to my eel, all the guts goes everywhere and she ends up only eating the meat (rings) of the squid anyway. I do give her the whole head with tentacles but that just doesn't seem like the full diet to me. I of course soak her squid in Selcon too.
I go to the asian markets etc... etc... and can only find squid that are about 5-7" frozen in packs.
Looking for a source that sells whole, uncleaned squid that are between 2"-4" so i can feed my eel a whole squid diet....
