I have had my snowflake for a week. I read and was told by the LFS to feed it twice a week. He was fed the day I bought him (just half hour before I got him) and then fed again on Saturday night. He went nuts at the food and ate well.
On Monday night I had a bit of a crash and the ammonia and nitrite spiked. Im not sure of the cause but I lost my lionfish and a snail in it. The Snowflake and the hermit lived. I fixed the water up with about a 40% water change and a little prime.
(The Lionfish and snail were lost the next morning after I fixed up the water so Im not entirely sure why esp the snail... Ive never lost one of those before except one eaten by a crab) Another weird thing was that just today there were weird worms hanging out of the rock which looked dead. Some had some parts of feather duster tops on them so I am assuming they all died too but the spike was quite a few days ago now and was fixed the same day. I dont really know whats happening and now that the levels have been ok for the past 2 days at least I cant understand the problem.
Anyways. It is now 2 days sincs I have been trying to feed the eel and he is not eating. He just looks at the food. I try morning and night and he just wont eat.
I tested the water twice today, morning and night. Nitrite is 0 and ammonia is 0.. what else could be the cause for him to refuse food?
I dont want to loose him too
