Fire in brackish tank

i have heard about people keeping fresh water spiny eels such as the fire eel in brackish supposedly it helps them. but a snowflake eel has teeth may take the fire eel as a competitor and kill it. when you say toad fish do you mean fresh water stone fish. if you do i dont know much about them. exempt you are talking about alt of bottom dwellers in your tank.
maybe you wanted a little more info

Appreciate the reply_ but the toadfish or freshwater lionfish or rockfish, and the eel have pretty much got my 55 locked down- my eel already downed 2 gar that were about as big as the sell fire eels around here. I was wanting something more cause the middle and top of my tank just look so bare- they eat everything that comes anywhere near. I'm just completely clueless as to what else i can put in there- might be a little while before i can upgrade so scats and monos are both out as they get to big, and they come too small, would make great snacks though- yup clueless- guess i'm better off leaving them alone.
I have a fire eel and a moray (was three different types of moray at one time) in the same low sg brackish tank. See below for pics and discussion on this very question.
The short version? do it.

I wouldn't go for it. Fire eels tolerate, maximum, 1.005 as an SG, while the freshwater/brackish morays are most comforatble at somewhere around 1.010 and above, even up to marine conditions.
