Would a full grown fire eel be ok in a 150 gallon? The tank is 4' by2' by 30" and has no way for it to escape. The setup also has a 35 gallon sump. The stockright now is an oscar and Dempsey. Both fish are really mellow and don't bother other fish. I have black gravel and background and think the fire eel would contrast in the tank cool. The fire eel is 20 + inches and if youve seen the one at petsoultions it looks like him. What do you think?
 
24"-36" is average.. so I'de also say no, particularly with your stock. If it was the eel alone, It might be okay but you'de still be pushing it down the road in all likely hood.
