 |  Over fed Eel. its sick
ok so heres the thing..
I went to the oregon country fair with my girlfriend this weekend and left the feeding of (my fish only) to my dad. but my dad felt he needed to feed my Eel lol.. so he took a giant silver side and dangled it intell my eel ate it, and now it has had a HUGE lump in the side of its neck and it doesnt move much. LFS told me only small bite sized pieces once a week.
Is it going to be ok?
I know snakes can diggest big things like that. |

The reason why you're suppose to feed smll pieces is because they can choke on their food. Im not saying thats whats going on with your eel, but thats why you're not suppose to give them big pieces. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

He'll be fine. My bro's zebra moray got too big of a crayfish once.....Yeah, that was fun. The thing had a big lump for like 2 and half weeks, but he eventually digested it.

| Well the zebra moray wasn't exactly a social butterfly for however long he had the thing stuck in his throat, and I always thought he was going to croak at least 5 times a day during that time. There's nothing you can do that won't just stress him out so sit back and don't bother him. (It's hard to do, I know) | |
