Need advice. I have had a Snowflake Eel for 1.5 years. He has always been hand fed and healthy. I had a wrasse that was attacked by another wrasse (Klensinger)and didn't look good. I think my Eel might have finished him off. Now he has been missing for about 5 weeks. We have searched everywhere without taking everything out of the tank. So I have 2 questions.
1. Is it possible for an Eel to go months without eating and hide or hibernate in the rock?
2. If he is dead and decaying how much of an impact will it have on my parameters.
I tested Nitrites today and still at zero. Nitrates are 8 ppm and phosphates at .04 ppm.
Looking forward to your advice.
