Ok do to start I have a 448g tank (6x5x2)
tankmates
2- reticulated rays, disc size of 6.5"
1- 13" fire eel
5- tinfoil barbs
1- pictus catfish 5"
1- 3" phantom pleco
I resently bought a 24" fire eel the other day, plan was to setup another tank for him. Because lots of stories of not being able to house them together unless they grow up together. So I changed my mind and I want to put the new 24" fire eel in my 448g with the other fire eel. My question is should I keep my original plan of seting up a new tank for the new eel or because I have such a large tank should I try to introduce the new fire to my old one? I know there will be some fighting to establish a pecking order but I they might be ok since I have a large tank
This is a pic of my tank and the new fire eel
