I have a white eyed moray eel in my 180/75 FOWRL. I have had him for about a year and a half. He is currently about 13 - 15 inches. He has been a model citizen and usually eats pretty well. I usually feed him every 2 to 3 days. He usually takes down squid, clams, shrimp whenever I try to feed. Sometimes he would eat every day if he had it his way but I always keep it to feeding him everything 2 to 3 days. Everytime I have gotten him on a good feeding schedule, he goes on a random hunger strike for a week or two which is what he is doing now. The only reason it always seems weird to me is because he is still out and active during the strikes and acts like hes hungry but wont take food. He even swims around the tank and shakes his head around to smell. When he does take food he ends up shaking it around and spitting it out. Then randomly 7 - 14 days later he will start taking everything again. Ive read that eels do this from time to time so it seems normal to me. I was just wondering if anyone knows why they do it? Is it because they are full and need to take time off eating? If so, should I consider putting more time in between feedings? I know they can go a very long time without eating but there isnt much info on this species about tankmates and I worry he will try to hunt at some point. Hes definitely gone hungry in the past from time to time but has yet to even look at another fish of my (they are decent size to mention). I think my concern would be that one day he may turn on his tankmates even though I do offer him food all the time. Was wondering if changing his schedule will make him skip the hunger strikes. Thanks for any input!
