I have kept many eels, including my 11 year old Tessalata. I am full aware of hunger strikes, just not ones that last a month.
He came from a friend of mine who kept him for 2 months in qt. He was eating everything after a 2 week hunger strike. I decided to pick him up after his qt was done. So far I have a Moorish Idol, CBB, Cleaner wrasse, Kuiteri Leopard, Bicolor goatfish, Golden dwarf angelfish, and a blood shrimp. Nothing in there that would intimidate him and they are in a 240 with bunch of sps.
My friend already treated the eel for me with CP and stuff. I wouldn't say it's parasites.
I'll try live goldfish, big mollies if they them, and others if they are big enough. He did reject live prawn though.
