Fire Eel & Fahaka Puffer

Hello all,

This is my first post on here, I have been checking out the forum for several months and learning lots of new things. My question for you guys now is regarding beign able to possibly put my Fire Eel and Fahaka Puffer in the same tank together. The Fire eel is roughly 24" and is in a 60 gallon aquarium with a pletco and an electric blue chiclid. The chiclid is probably leaving as he is getting fairly agressive. The eel is really laid back and doesnt bother other fish at all, even when the chiclid is picking on it. Now my fahaka Puffer is up to about 5 inchs, and I got him at about 2 inch. He is in a 35 gallon tank so I know I need to upgrade him soon. He eats freeze dried shrip from my hand, and also small snails when I give them to him. I recently tried giving him feeder fish and he befriended them instead of eating them. So I am really interested in putting the Fire Eel ( named Eelvis ) and my Puffer ( rafael ) in the same tank. Any ideas on trying this out, good, bad, etc....

Thanks in advance.

Just got a couple pics uploaded so you can have an idea of what I am working with.

Thank you, found him by accident. Had a lil 30 gallon aquarium and was looking for something nice to go in it at my local dealer. By chance that morning someone dropped off this Eel due to the fact they had 2 and the other one was getting agressive. Luckily the shop owner held him till I could find a bigger tank adn get it set up =)

Yeah tank size is going to be an issue, but I had planned on getting him in atleast a 60 by january, then push for a 120. Gonna go get some new sand for the Eels tank in a few and make it half rock half sand then go ahead and put my fahaka in there with him. Then I plan on spending the rest of the day in front of the tank observing to see what happens. Wish me luck =)
