do zig zag eels get along with peacocks?

what size tank? well im not sure, im upgrading soon and iv got a selection to choose from. i have a 55 gallon not in use at the moment and i also have a 20 long they could go in. and there has been talk of getting a 75 gallon but i dont hold out hope of that happening within the next couple of months so a safe answer would be 55. the 20 is actually supposed to get set up for banjo catfish breeding but i could always use it as a backup tank if the zigs and the peacock dont get along.
Zig zag and peackocks get along great its normaly only the larger mastacembelus eels that dont get along
not only the larger, ive found out of personal experience that they only dont get along with there own spp (like 2 fire eels or 2 zigzag eels), i have mixed right now a ZigZag, a Yellow tailled, a baby fire eel, and a baby ellipsifer (from tanganyika), all mixed in a 35g ATM, id say the 20 Long should be fine, but definitely in the 55.
thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. hopefully ill get the 55. yall dont happen to know if spiny eels will eat banjo catfish eggs do you?
exactly fire eels are mastacembelus and mastacembelus dont like each other especialy if its there own kind, ive never had a problem with antisocial macrognathus but i guess its just the personality of the fish.
