Gymnothorax Tile has a COLLAPSED lung - only the one side expels water.
My wife wants to know if it is something a vet can fix.
I know it is NOT possible.
I was advised that these Gymnothorax Tile are NOT actually fresh water and required at least brackish water.
I very slowly elevated the water to minimal brackish and the my little buddy lost his lung.
So; I added fresh water and removed some salt water and added more fresh and he is doing a LOT better.
He was actually falling over upside down (exposing his belly).
ANY ADVICE?
I don't want to spend hundreds on a twenty dollar eel if I can help it.
