I'm going to agree/disagree here. a single Oscar could be alright in a 75 I think, but 2 no way. a fire eel, while extremely flexible is easily capable of 30"+ lengths in aquariums. I wouldn't keep one in less than a 250-300 gallon...I want one for my 310 and that's only 36 inches wide...
I agree with the oscars in 75, but a 125 is SO much better given their max size. True on the eels also, i forgot how big they truly got

OP, are you sure that the eel you had was a fire eel and not a "freshwater" moray? I ask because all but one species of the "freshwater" moray are actually brackish. The fire eel, however, is 100% freshwater.
