Bichir and Fire eel

Hi! Is is possible to have Senegal bichirs with fire eels in 55g tank?

I do relise that they are both bottom dwellers so will compete for food. And that if the eels are too small then bichirs could eat them. And that all the fish will produce loads of waste.

But other than that are there any cons?

Could i keep 2 bichirs and one fire eel? Or do you have any other combination suggestions. their tank mates would include 1 GT and 6/12 tiger barbs.

I have a chace to get the biichirs at 4/5 inch and the fire eels between 4 inch and 10 inch.

A couple sens would fit in their perfectly, but a fire eel would be very cramped as an adult. I would imagine the GT would be a little cramped as well.

Nvm I didn't relise how HUGE these guys get :/ I don't know why I imagined them to be 1' max! I went on and read few post on here and people say that even 180 g is small :/

The GT will stay in this tank for max 2 years sorry to be a time waster
