Eel ate some thread

[Kat Norwood]

Hello

I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm doing this right. I have trying to entice my lionfish to eat something other than dried krill, knowing its not healthy if I don't mix up his diet. I tied a 3 inch piece of thread on a silverside and dangled it in front of him. He wasn't interested but before I could even react my snowflake eel ate it...thread and all. Now I'm scared that it will hurt him and don't know what to do. I now know that it was a stupid thing to do but I love my marine animals and am really worried. Any help is appreciated!

Not much you can do now. You' have to see what happens next.

He’ll probably be ok. Eels are pretty resilient. I’d try some live ghost shrimp to get him (the lionfish)eating.

How is your eel doing now?
