so my new fire eel that i bought is now dieing as we speak. he hasnt eatten from i can see seence i bought him almost 2 weeks and he has some type of fungal infection i think cause all over his body he has discoleration of white.....nothing fuzzy though
he swims to the top and lays his self over some plants and just stays there so when i notice this today i pulled him out threw him in spare hospital tank and threw in some pelafex i think its called......started treatment today hope he survives
he still kind of floating and curled
couldnt find nothing on the internet weather or not i should add sault for eels?
if any of yous can help please do thanks

no salt please... that white cotton stuff all over the body is a slimy coating
for protection, a self defense mechanism for any irritants. i suggest you check
the temp... the higher temp... the better for the eel (80).

any picture?

Good luck with your eel...hope he pulls though.

did you try feeding live foods, like earthworms?

i hope yr eel pulls thru m8, fingers crossed 4 ya
