I'm trying to figure out if because of the poor health condition of my eel,.. if thats way all of a sudden my nitrates sky rocketed?? In two days my nitrates read 20, and today is the 2nd day in a row where its read 160. we did a water change.. because as far as i can read thats how you correct...

an hour later.. i turned off the lights a little early to try an eliminate some stress, and now the spot is white with a red dot.. so it sounds like youre on to something? what are you thinking?

I do have a jewel damsel that tail whips everything in the tank. I have never seen him pay any mind to the eel, but .. alas, hes a damsel. Can you explain to me why you ask?? im trying to learn as i go.. being harrassed? like you think something could have done that to him? or harrassed and...

This started out as a white spot. It showed up on my eel about two weeks ago. No other spots, my other fish seem completely uneffected, nothing out of line with my water. (actually added a uv filter recently). He hasnt been eating (approx. 2 weeks) He has been hiding more than normal, he was...

so i was updating my husband on our quick convo as i walked over to the tank, i look at the eel, who is laying on the bottom. (doesnt look sick, just for some reason went from behind almost completely hidden for 2 weeks, to laying out in the open the past two days?) AND THE WHITE BUMP HAS...

its definitely raised like a bump. Not red?? it doesnt look irritable at all. I wonder if it is a cyst or something. If it was ich (which is raise 'salt like' spots).. it most certainly would have spread by now right???? thanks for your help beth

i also wanted to mention beth that i did read your frequently asked questions about disease. Im nervous and hesitant, thats all. :)

ill try again, but as you know... taking pictures is easier said than done. The bump (which theres just that one) is raised really high and white. Thats about all there is really to describe. do you have an idea?? days keep going by and im worried im wasting time without treating it. but i cant...

Im just curious how your tank is doing? This same thing happened to us about a year ago. Started on the clown, same thing.. white cottony looking strings.. and within 24 hours it literally killed everything in my tank except my starfish. It was so sad. Before i could do research and treat it it...

I clicked on your thread to read what people wrote.. im very worried that I'll have to do the same thing. Good Luck!!! be brave! hahahah. Lets see what people suggest.

I posted this in a different section as well, but im thinking that i should have put it here instead. My chain link eel, developed this spot over his eye more than a week ago. Ive been watching it closely.. it hasn't spread, my jewel damsel looks fine. Ive tested everything 1000 times, the only...

ok, i did my best to try and take a picture. Can you tell that its very raised?? I agree that it doesnt look like ich, and i cant figure out why its not spreading either??? And if anyone can give me a link, or a reference to where i can read up on this 'lion fish shedding' thing.. id greatly...

hmmm, ok next question then (and thank you for responding) Once Ive put the eel in the quarantine tank (which i figured was the right thing to do) do you think i should ASSUME its ich?? Im so afraid to throw medicine in there if its not necessary, and to have not treated the problem at all.

We have a Chain Link Eel, that seems to be acting a bit lazy. Ive done my fair share of reading and find it incredibly frustrating to get direct answers about anything im specifically looking for. I understand my eel can go through spurts where it doesnt eat, that it might only be active at...
