i am thinking of getting a fire eel for my new 180 gallon tank. it is 12 inches long and will be going in with 2 large oscars, two 8 inch jaguar cichlids, and 1 12 in pleco. There will be plenty of hiding places and lots of room for it to swim in. will it be alright or will i need to find a bigger one for sale? if i need to find a bigger one does anyone know where i can get it?

also its going to make feeding him a nightmare.. the oscars and jags will be sucking down that food before the fire eel even has a chance to realize its there.. i used to have a 7in oscar in with my 12in TT and my 10in fire eel, and i would have to hand feed them for them to get their food, and still sometimes the oscar would manage to grab it first
the bigger fire eels stand a better chance at feeding time cos they will come to the surface to feed and are far more boisterous.
