snowflake not eatting

[guppie]

I know this has been gone over before, but i have a 12 in. snowflake that i was feeding about everyother day and now he has almost stoped eatting. he ate just a little today. is this anything to worry about. i know i have read on the board before that they can go awhile with not eatting, thanks for the help in advance.

Not to worry yet. As discussed some eels will eat daily (one of mine does) and some will not (my baby one skips a day from time to time). There are members here who believe they should be fed twice a week and others like me who if they appear I will offer them food. When you say it has stopped you did not say how long since it last eat a full meal. The fact it ate a bit today may only mean like Puffers it ate too much the last time. They will sometimes gorge themselves if given the chance. I never had eels till I bought the 2 I now have (different tanks) a few months back and now I am a eel lover like many others.

What have you been feeding the eel while it was eating? I recomend dryd krill, goast shrimp, fresh crab, and any other fresh sea food. It is important to feed it a variaty of foods

With my experience with morays they are inconsistent eaters, so don't worry. Just feed a little everyday if you like, or feed him until full two or three times a week. And definately vary the diet, I alternate between clams, squid, krill, and silversides during the week. This will make all of your fish happy....
