I recently purchased a ghost eel from the lfs. He has been eating well and very active. Today I noticed some large long bumbs in his stomach about half way back in his body, could it be possible it is pregnant or do eels lay eggs. I thought maybe it is just something he ate I am not sure let me know if anyone has an answer.

Could you describe what you're feeding him? (I don't think it's pregnant, unless ghost eels are very unique)

A photo would really help if you can manage it. I know belly shots can be hard to take.

What is the tank's substrate, though? He could be irritating his belly if it's too rough.
