Water quality as of yesterday morning Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0PPm, Nitrate 80ppm, Phosphate. To help me prevent this again, if I decide to get another one, here are answers to your questions, please let me know if you see anything i did wrong.ġ) i have a 4 foot long 3" diameter piece of PVC pipe covered with rock and rocks forming cave like opening on the ends. Thanks for the comments, but he just passed away. He too as your saying, thought to had excellent water conditions. His eel hang out in the open, After I spoken to him on this, he done large water changes and then he witnessed his eel behave as it should, he has a H. At another forum link, this persons eel water to me acting in the way that wasn't normal by it. Now let me tell you a little something on the idea of water changes. Like another fish bitten the eel, or that if LR in the tank falling over on the eel and that eel shouldn't ever be on its back, just because it refused to feed three days ago.Īlso, how often you do a water change? How many gals? Do you use RO water? I never in all my years keeping eels did one not become ill and nothing happened in the tank. Now understand this, to where you say your water parameters are fine, there also happens to be other problems, such as waste build ups in the tank, that there be no test for. (4) Never overcrowd fish in with your eel With no possible escaping from your tank, your a closed lid and cover the overflow box as well. (1) Tank must be completely setup with an area or two build from LR, its lair and it would be a plus if your have it that the eel could be in total darkness.

Im sorry, I known eels all my life to be the most hardy marine tank inhabitants a hobbyist can own. If it is upside down as you say, I would consider your just one issue her, and that is water quality! But where it is that you say its laying upside down, do you mean its more like its too it side, rather then upside down? For one, eels in my book feed far too often then they ever do in the wild. What I mean by it is that what you consider to be near perfect, another person looks for it being better.Īs for feeding, I wouldn't concern myself when my ell not feeds a few days at any time period. But do know that there be perfect water parameters, and perfect water parameters. Water parameters are all normal at the surface, due to what test readings you get. ![]()
