My Fire Eel Seems to be have a very seriouse problem... Help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am so sorry, that does not look good. I hope the situation is better today. I, at one time, had 3 eels. A zig zag, a tiretrack, and the fire. I only had the fire for about a month, just long enough for it to get settled and start hand feeding then it developed some kind of white cotton coating and died within 2 days, boo hoo. The tiretrack almost lasted 6 months was growing fine hand feeding then one night it wiggled its way out of the tank and I didn't find it till it was crispy, boo hoo again. Lastly my zig zag, the smallest of the 3 still alive and kickin. By some miracle nothing has eaten it, no infections and has not found a way to escape (fingers crossed). I would love to get another fire eels but am learly due to the amount of sudden deaths that I read about. It seems they are most suseptible to diseases and more fragile than others, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, good luck.
 
It kept on getting worse & worse...
I had to get it out of its pain myself... :headshake

Me & my family felt so sad...
My heart is aching... :(

Although I think fire eels are among the most beautiful fresh water aquariums fish...
But I consider that one as my last for sure... as I learned the hard way how they are very problematic & have lots of health issues...
