Fire Eel and Bichir compatibility

I notice that everyone who says they'll be alright has fire eels bigger than their bichirs?
I would have thought that a bichir would eat a smaller fire eel as they are pretty much worms with fins and skin like a weather loach, which a few members here feed their bichirs with?
Am I wrong here?

Fire eel died a while back, ornate is now 16"+ and in with a 12" tyre track, no problems.

Fire Eels typically do well with anything that doest try to attack them, they don't take well to attacks from being scaleless fish.
I'd say as long as your other fish are smaller and/or not aggressive then you'll have no issues.
You'll need a pretty hefty tank for one though.
I'm looking at an 8x2x2 to house Fire Eels right now, ferocious appetities too, thought they wont touch anything that isn't bloodworm for me.
