Hi

I'm planning to buy a fire eel but I'm not really sure if I can mix it with my tank with my fishes like 2 10" giant gourami, 1 16" Silver arownana, 1 Endli at about 11" 1 ornate at 11" 1 senegal at 8" last is one albino sen at 4". The shop sells it for 15cm. Can I mix it with my tank?
 
At that size, it should be ok, but hiding spots are the key with these guys. If it has several places that it can retreat to, you shouldn't have any problems. Also take into consideration the personality of your fish

a very good lid and no way to get out of the tank is also key for these guys, but I would try to get one as large as you can because the giant gouramis might have a go at it

Yup I also think so that the gouramis will go after them. I just have to observe after buying it. Thanks
 
I am interested learning more about the fire eels. I have always wanted one, but been some what afraid to get it. Can they live with CA cichlids?

Mine is one mean sob, i put a 10 inch biffa in wit it and all they did was fight, on the other hand she now lives with hdp's and some rainbows and they r fine. I quess cuz she rules the nest so to speak and is very picky on food she will not touch anything that is alive even guppys, only frozen mysis shrimp and one brand at that. Most will eat almost nething they r great wet pets even better than a oscar
