I am trying to plan out a 350 to 450 gallon tank and my daughter wants an eel in it. I plan to have severums, earth eaters, electric blue acara and some other fish in it. I have my 150 gallon right now with Denison Barbs, Odessa Barbs and Gold barns along with other fish. So the question is can FIre eels be with these barbs or will it eat them? You always read dont put fish with fish that will fit into their mouths but most things dont give examples of a good size fish and type (torpedo shape or rounded) that can fit in their mouths. I was thinking of putting my barbs in for dither fish but I wont do something if it will cost me in the end. Gold denison barbs are to expensive to have as a food source. I could do other types of eels just trying to figure what is best I suppose. I could always leave out the barbs but figured a long tank with them as dithers would be sweet. Thanks for the help.
Also willing to hear about other eels other than just the fire eels. I am in no rush on this tank. I need to get my house built first but I have the wifes approval so I am planning lol.
