Snowflake Eel hasen't eaten in 3 Months...

I have a 2" abs pipe that he like to hide in as well as 2 other cave spots that he likes to hide out in, Ive tried the garlic angle a few times with no success. he was out this morning and looks good, nothing to suggest that he has been picked on. I do have a clean up crew but mostly sand sifters and for the most part have been accounted for. had another suggestion the other day indicating that he is in a type of hibernation mode, hopefully that is the case!at this point I will keep trying once a week with some fresh food and see if he takes it

I had a snowflake bordering on 3 feet that took 6 months off eating. Was active when food was out. Even bit at cocktail shrimp, but would eat nothing for about 6 months. At the time I was feeding the sharks in the tank a variety of whitefish, and squid, and he would not touch it. It wasn’t until I decided to grab some wild salmon at the grocery store to cube up and give it a try and he was back on eating. Ate two cubes of salmon, then was eating whitefish, squid, shrimp, anything pretty much again within a week . This was about 4 years ago and he’s still around today .

Thanks Nate.

That was the exact info I was searching for. I will keep trying to feed various foods until he decides to eat.

No problem. Please also note that during that time he was being offered farmed salmon and I only bought the wild salmon on a whim as it was 50% off at the time. After that time he also took a strong liking to cut up octopus arms as well.
