Hello.
First time posting here. I picked up a fire eel (16inches) a little over a week ago. While the previous owner was cathing the eel it jumped out of the tank and got trapped under the aquarium stand. This caused a lot of stress (white eyes etc.) I decided to medicate the eel once i got home using JBL baktopur direct doing water changes every other day. A week passed and the eel was looking very nice and healthy. That was until yesterday when i saw a white patch on its tail. I have read that eels can be sensitive to medications but was wondering if there is anything i can do other than keeping up with water changes. Its sharing a QT tank with a bichir currently.
Any information appreciated. Thanks
