i am going to get 2 male jaguar cichlids for my 180 gallon aquarium. i am also thinking of getting a 12 in long fire eel. would they kill it. it would be with 2 oscars that ive had for about 2 years and they seem pretty peaceful, and a sailfin pleco.

If you can get the eel a bit bigger and make sure it has plenty of hidding places but i personally would not do it.
It should be fine As long as the fire eels has hideing spots i would be alot more worried about 2 male jags together in a 180 you might have seious aggression problems and the 2 oscars may get beat up
But if you have good filtration i would give it a go and yes try to get the fire eel bigger shoot for around 16'' but really it depends on the size of the cichlids

you only have 180 gallons 2 o's and a pleco = 150 gallons MINIMUM let alone 2 jags that need like 75 80 MINIMUM and then theres the ell
Two females would be a better choice but really i would only get one unless they have been raised togeather i would still worry about the oscars might wan't toconsider Dithers if you do try it
As far as Bio load with great filtration and large water changes your fine i've seen 10-15 large cichlids put into 180s and still keep the water quality good but its alot of work a large sump really helps to
