I saw lots of awesome eels in this forum and I though may be i can put them together with my bichirs. Is that even possible?
Can I put eels together with bichirs?

I have a bichir in with my fire eel. They pay each other no mind. Make sure you keep them (especially the bichir) well fed.
I have a TT with my 2 Senegels they've been together for a hand-full of months now w/out any major issue. The TT stands up for himself if the Bichir's get to nosy. depending what type/size poly's you have and the dynamics of your tank I would think they will co-habitate just fine. If the tank is fairly mellow I'de suggest the fire eels, if it's abit more on the aggressive side a TT might fit the bill better. Most the smaller species will stay small enough I would have concern about predation. Key I think would be haveing a few hideing spots only the eel can get to. I've been succeful for a few months now w/ my guys. But I've seen my poly's deathroll worms one at each end breaking them in half 'n get nightmares about this happening to my eel. So in the long run i think it will really depend on the poly's aggression levels themselves.
yep, i have a 9-inch tire t rack and a 7-inch senegal together with zero issues. although they share the tank floor space, they ignore one another.
I have recently put a ghostly white senegal ~ 3" in with a 6" Peacock eel and can count the times on one hand that I have seen more then its beak since then! I guess the color spooked my eel!
