well i havent fed him at all in the past 2 days... before that he ate a full meal as per usual.

all the water seems to be fine ...like i said even my mandarin is fine

could the food be bad? could that be what killed my other eel as well?

as salmon king asked, what feeding routine do you use? how often? what food? any supplment? how old is the food?

Are there any outer injuries or abnormalities on the actual eel? are the eyes clouded? How are the gill movements?

I know it sounds like im interrogating you, but the info would help. I doubt it's the water as the mandarin is doing fine. mandarins are a bit less hardy than morays i think.
