Question
My tassalated eel has not eaten for more than 2 weeks.I feed him the diet you reccomend and have done so for about 1 year.He seems fine but I dontknow if he can continue like this for such a long time. I would appreciate any help. Thank you very much!

Answer
Louis,

This has happened to me only once. It was suggested that I purchase some small live feeder fish to entice my eel to feed. I tried small rosy red minnows. How is your water quality has anything changed in the last two weeks.  Most eels are known to be good eaters so check your water. Have you changed his feeding schedule? Also when he ate last was it a big meal or the normal portion.

just wondering if your eel has eaten a meal yet?

Good Luck
Todd
