Would a 12-14" Fire eel get along with a 4" Clown Knife? Or would the Eel kill the Knife because it's so much smaller?
 
Great thank you.:)

Another question, are they slow growers? (I'm off to search, but thought I would ask first in case I don't find anything)
 
They'd probably do fine. I have a bunch of posts on my fire eels about their growth rates (which are fairly fast if they are fed well), what I feed mine, etc. etc. I have mine in with clown knife, but they were both large. However, my three eels won't touch feeders, and generally are just really chill with all their tankmates. They are very boisterous and would stress out some calmer or more timid fish.

Here's a link to a thread I posted on about fire eels, their eating habits and nutritional needs, their tank and water requirements, and I think so info on personality as well.

Okay here's another compatibility question.

How about a 14" Fire eel and 2-3" Senegal Bichirs? Would that work? Or would they be lunch?

i think that they wont be eaten but wont appear in good conditions...
After all that‘ll look strange when two fish swimming together get similar shape but differ that greatly in length...:drool:
