Fat eel.

So my m.Dayi is a chunker. His belly looks like he just ate a big meal, but I haven't fed him in a few days. I wanted to see if it would go down. Gave him an Epsom salt bath in a bucket for 15 min yesterday, no poop though. Did I just feed him way too much for the past couple months and he got fat, or could there be something else going on (Maybe bacterial). He is still active and constantly begs for food like always.

He could just be over weight, you say he's acting normal so doesn't sound like they're should be a concern..

That's what I'm hoping, and if that's the case I'll have to cut back on food.

He swims normally and doesn't float when he doesn't want to right?

Yes sir, swims normal and no problem with floating.

Lol he's just gaining girth. There's no problem with your black spotted eel. Man how long is he? He's a Beaut.

Haha yeah you're probably right. He is about 9 inches right now, can't wait till he's fully grown!
