I'm cycling a 65gallon tank, i first put in 5guppies(theyve been breeding like its their last day on earth) then got a freshwater moray(g.tile) and started switching to brackish, its at .010 now... i'm thinking of getting 2silver dats and a couple of figure8 puffers(maybe), how do u think the dats with get along with the eel, i mean hes very peaceful he hasnt ever even tried to eat 1 single guppy, but if provoked he WILL bite and his bite DOES hurt. and what about the puffers? ive read theyre also very peaceful but they stay at 8cm so do u think that the dats will bully them?
 
The AT's should be fine with your eel but I would forget about the puffers, they love to nip at fins and if your other fish eat them, I recall they can be toxic.
 
and try to find out if they were kept in brackish water at the store or if they were even collected from such waters....They don't need to be in brackish.
