Howdy,
I have 3 beautiful moray eels. 1 snowflake moray and 2 zebra morays. All of which have been in their tanks for about 8-12 months now. Over this period I have never been told about of even heard of eel diseases. Ich doesnt affect them and i know thats the main cause of death for our fishie friends. But im just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is eel specific diseases and what are the symptoms and remedies of these?
I ask this because my smaller zebra eel over the past 4 days or so has been not eating, very limp, slow and not as worried about hiding in rocks anymore.
Limp - we all know how eels stick theyre heads out of a rock or etc they seem to hold theyre heads up, whereas my small zebra just lays flat on the bottom of the tank.
Eating - hasnt eaten in 4-5 days, she normally eats every 2nd day.
Slow and not alert - when someone walks past the tank she quickly retreats back into the rockwork.
If any knows what might be wrong please help; my eels are beautiful specimens and I'd hate to lose the baby of the tank![/quote]
