so i think my eel might be sick, i dont know whats wrong with him but he seems to be getting paler i tested the water and it was good but i think maybe the pump i use might have put heavy metals into the water. i dont know what to do i really dont want to lose him and i dont know whats wrong. i will post some picks and there is some hair algea but nitrate and nitrites and amonia were all at zero so idk. Could igt be stress related? he has gotten bigger and no longer fits into some of his favorite holes so could he be lighter because of that? if he dies i will probably just be done with the hobby.
