Hello all this is my first post,
I bought the eel from a local fish store. Normally I would ask them to feed the fish before I purchased, but last time I did that with a moray it threw up by the time I got it home.
Once I got him home and in quarantine, I gave a more thorough look at him and he's pretty thin so I gave him a day to adjust and tried feeding him last night to see if he would eat. I just poured some of the water that the food was sitting in into the tank and he showed an appetite. I had a little neck clam and a small head on shrimp and he just tears everything up, not swallowing anything. He will just chew and shake everything around. I have never experienced this and I have had 4 other species of morays. I've had hunger strikes that lasted 6 months, but I'm pretty worried about this any idea what it could be?
