I guess by now you realize that your not a feeding problem for this Gymnothorax tile is by now twice its size if not larger and feeds on fish for it has two rows of teeth and very sharp too that helps them into tearing flesh off from their preys. Also that this species is a freshwater species. And they grow 24" and that a 40 gal tank is too small, least of all to my own understandings. So I hope that you realized this and left the fish in freshwater  |
Gymnothorax tile is a freshwater to brackish species that momentarily moves into saltwater to spawn. It stays in at least slight brackish water, and most people have had troubles with it being in freshwater (pure). Either it just dies, or it gets a white slime coating that leads to death.
