Hey all,
I've had a 4 foot or so Zebra moray in my 150g tank for a little over a year. He used to be a very good eater. I'd feed him a raw table shrimp (or scallop, or squid piece) once every other day with tongs. Sometimes he'd clearly be hungry and I'd feed more often than that.
Lately, however, he's going on a strict diet. I can't seem to get him to eat anything. Sometimes he picks at table shrimp if I leave it in the tank for a few hours, but that's not the best solution, and I still don't think he's eating enough.
Nobody else in the tank even knows he exists.
There are cleaner and peppermint shrimp in the tank as well as "backup" snacks, but he hasn't shown any interest in them. In fact, they live in his cave with him since he's so messy.
Any suggestions as to how I can entice him to eat again? When should I be worried?
Thanks!
