I have a sick zebra eel with swelling right behind his gills. Since, I have notice this swelling he has not eaten anything. It has been almost two weeks since he has last eaten, which is extremely unusual. I have tried all his favorite foods to try and get him to eat. He refuses all foods. The swelling does not seem to be getting worse, but it is not going away.
I did have very bad quality of water due to bad equipment in the new tank he is in. I had everything replaced and everything is running better than ever, but now the eel is sick. Probably due to the poor water quality. I do not know how to treat him. He is 6 years old and they are suppose to live to be 20. I really really don't want to lose him. I don't care what I have to do I just want to save him. Any help will be appreciated.
