Hey everyone I’m new to the forum but haven’t seen much about spiney nose eels, I’m in Aus and have one in a 3 X 2 ft aquarium.
He’s been surfaced almost always the past few weeks and looks very underweight/ hungry- I’ve been feeding brine shrimp and blood worms almost daily with no success in getting weight on him.
I’ve wormed the tank with a half dose of blue planet (due to other sensitive fish including Corey’s and a BGK) over a week ago with no improvement. All other fish and fine.
Just over a week ago I noticed some what look like scratches / scrapes to his body which I assumed were injuries ( now on both sides of its body) how ever they seem to be getting bigger / worse!
Any advice would be much appreciated he’s been putting up a good fight!!!!
