I have a single specimen of I gagei which I collected last year with BullheadsRDfish. After having been in hiding all this time, it has now emerged and appears to have metamorphosed into an adult. So, now what? This is a nonparasitic species. Do the adults feed at all? Is it going to waste away and die??

It will die...
However place a few really algae covered rocks in the tank. Some anecdotal records exist where they, for a short time at least, will graze on this.... or presumably do.. It is not really all that clear. Try it and let me know what you observe.

What are you referring to here??? I'm not aware of any papers by her specifically regarding Ichthyomyzon gagei.. She summarizes Bill Beamish's work on the Southern Brook in one open paper, otherwise She works more with Great lakes and Pacific species in her formal works.
Wondering if I'm missing a paper somewhere...

Well, the lamprey has expired. When I fished her out of the tank several oocytes were expressed from her vent (note to self - avoid use of passive voice). All revved up and no place to go 
She was only about 6" long.
