Tiretrack eel with hole on his side...

my fire eel had one several months ago. he survived. 
isolate him and treat with frequent water changes and melafix.
if he's eating, that's a good sign. that he's trying to fight the infection.
i dont check the net often so you might wana try PM-ing me if you wana ask me abt his recovery.
hope he makes it.

It appears that your eel has a bacteria problem.Bacterias like aeromonas will eat tissue in a ever widening circle.Remove the eel and clean out the wound with iodine to kill the bacteria.The wound then should scab over with white tissue and start to heal in a day or two.If the sore remains red the bacteria is still active and the wound needs to be recleaned.Adding a gram negitive bacterial agent may help.
Thats sad to hear.. But next time if it happens again to some other fish.. Try tetracycline.. It works for everything..
