cuz i really admire th0se THICK FAT freshwater eels when they reach over a foot and get like as thick as your arm or peacock eel doesnt grow to these sizes if not would it be a wise decision to get a tiretrack eel or a fire eel? mostly wanting a tiretrack eel also which of these would be more likely to coexist with large aggressive cichlids.
The females of the eels get to be the biggest. I had peacock eel that was a foot and she was a good 3" round. I used to love watching her swim around. She got out the tank when I had a ick out brake 
You can put the eels in the same tank. Just make sure they all have plenty of places to hide and are well feed.
