My eels always stressing me out he had a similar issue to yours as he was younger, which was just him scraping himself, he damaged his nose one rubbing on the glass, he got pop eye in both eyes once and recently had a blockage of the anus that ended up not causing any bloat, they're sensitive...

It's hard to see the pictures but it looks like sever slime coat damage that had ended up being what was wrong with my eel was little scrapes and what not would turn white and the slime coat healed.. if the spots seems to move around and little and appear, disappear then that is most likely what...

Hi I've had my fire eel for about a year and a half now and he's been pretty good for a long while we had a culminaris scare once but that was a while back I've moved him into a 120 gallon in my new apt and he seems to have lost all his dark coloring! Yesterday when I turned on the light Him and...

So I've set up a 120 gallon in my 3rd story apartment(I know risky,risky) but the floor seems to be a sort of concrete material under the carpet and I've got it up against the wall. all seems to be pretty good it's Been full and cycling for a week with no shaking as I walk by it besides one...

Yeah I wonder if they're just really light scraped and his slime coat thickens in those areas to protect it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That's what I'm saying though they're already all gone, is it possible that he can change color a bit a night and have pale spots? And any idea on the coaxing into eating some varied diet? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Parameters are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 10 nitrate 7.5 ph pretty hard water temperature is at 78, my hypothesis was he was scraping himself on his fake log he looooves to dig under But would a scrape heal in one night? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have the fire eel I've had about a year maybe two years and he's more active than ever hunting down food through the tank and he gets excited when he sees me from under his log BUT When I look at him with a small light last night he had small scrape like white spots all on his left side. I...

He still doesn't eat much one or two pellets every now and the will bite a brine shrimp but doesn't eat it, sometimes he swims around the tank all happy and graceful and I go back 5 minutes later and he's buried under something he likes to move sand around too.. Is he still stressed or is he...

Temperature is at 82 nitrate 10ppm nitrite 0ppm ph 8.0 kh 120 gh 20 ish 55 gallon with a 100 gallon penguin 400, I recently planted it and added some driftwood could my delhizi be a female ? She is hiding under a log while he flies around lol ask anything else you need I will provide to stop...

I just noticed tonight that my 2 year old bichir is flying all around the tank with an enlarged anal fin making the cup with it trying to fertilize nothing, my 4 gourami are also trying to breed to no avail.. They are all baby making challenged. And it's driving me nuts I have no intention of...

He finally ate this afternoon I dropped a shrimp pellet on his stubborn face and he hobbled it up to only spit it out, I was ready to dive in the tank and fight him but when it softened up he ate it.. The great starvation is over Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
