So I was thinking of emptying my tank(220g)
And adding PVC pipes connected going all over the tank (bottom)
With lots of T's like some in the middle some on the sides and some on the corners,
Or
PVC pipes with elbows on each side big enough for each eel...

Either way
After the PVC pipes installed add fine gravel to hide the PVC and just enough to see the holes were the eels come out from,
Once gravel is nice and done,
Adding sprite plants by row or mixed not alot just enough lol
Now tricky question
Adding fl gar
A payara of some kind
Tyre track eel
Fire eel
Peacock eel
Zig zag eel
Black spotted eel
And maybe one bichir??
Think it would work?
All eels are going to be same size and added t the same time
I thought maybe because they can't stand eachother it might work if theres a lot of them??

I would be careful to avoid deadspots inside the PVC
 
My eels grew so fast I don't understand if temporary maybe but long term your looking at 4 inch PVC. Mine out grew that! Unless you have monster tank,sand will be 5 inches deep to hide pipe.
 
a 220 is going to get very small for all the species listed within' a year... then you will have some major aggression issues imo. I think it could work if you removed the fire, tt, and leopard eel and replaced them with other smaller species... or tried a group of a single smaller species. persoanlly I couldn't imagine my feed bill with that stock list... feeding a single eel of the larger species isn't cheap let alone trying to feed 3 growing co-habitating ones.

And at 3" a FLG will possibly predate them.
