I have a very sick 6 year old zebra eel. I had extremely poor water quality due to equipment. I had everything replaced and cleaned the tank very very well, but now my eel is sick. Probably due to the stress and bad water ; ;.
The eel has not eaten anything in almost 2 weeks, which is extremely rare and i am really worried. I have heard stories of eels going on hunger sticks for months before eating again.
My eel has a lump in his throat. It is located behind his gills...it looks almost as if he has an adams apple. I will try to post a pic, but during the daylight he is usually tucked away in his cave...
If anyone has experienced this before PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!! I am willing to do anything it takes to help my eel. As I have already stated he is not eating anything so I can't put any meds in his food since he is not eating >.<
