brackish morays has unique personalities for each individuels.. for example, my echidna rhodochiluses and gymnothorax polyuranodons are doing just fine together despite being put in the aquarium in different time periods. No aggression whatsoever. They will steal food from each other's mouths though; that's why I gave away my two uropterygius micropterus (snake morays) because they are too slow and always got their food stolen. As for G. Tile, I never kept any of them for an extended period of time, but from the experiences of my fellow moray-keepers, G. Tile is a bit more aggressive than most other brackish morays, and if you plan to keep more than one G. Tile in an aquarium, usually the best way to do is to put them all at the same time, so that none of them will feel the need to establish "seniority". Or, before putting the new one, re-arrange the aquarium so it become "as if new", and thus both the older eel and the newer eel would feel like "being put in a new home".
