Concerned about my moray eel. As of late it has not been eating.Previosly it use to eat shrimp and krill now it won't eat at all. It is housed in my 135g brackish SG 0.16. Tank mates monos scats and columbians.All water parameters check ok. Any ideas on what's up.
g tile on hunger strike
- Thread starter crisper
- Start date
I wonder if it may be linked to the fact that these fish eventually become high-brackish/marine fish as they grow? I've noticed that juveniles in freshwater won't eat, so maybe try raising the salinity a bit.
No sign of injury the eel should'nt be stressed out. Same tankmates for months nothing has changed still hides in the same cave.Just won't come out to eat.Will try some different foods.How long can they go without food without any problems.It's already been like a week.This thing use to hit shrimp like nuts.
Hi. My G tile was on hunger strike for about a month and a half last winter. I was very worried for it.
But in the end it didn't seem to suffer too much. It was not overly thin after that time and ended up eating again.
I found some reports stating that G tile needs alteration in salinity to keep eating without an occasional strike. Could'n confirm them, though. I did try it myself at about a mont or so, but noticed no immediate impact.
If yours has been eating well and is healthy, you don't have to worry for a while. My 2c.
