I don't know much about bichirs, but I read that BGK are peaceful with any fish except it's own species. So the eel and knife fish should be fine.
From what I have gathered from reading and what not I THINK it should be fine...but I just want some more opinions haha
Peacock eel will become food to the ornate. Ornate and BGK should be fine as long as the size are the same.
King-El is correct, the peacock eel will end up as lunch. If you want to get a spiny eel, try a Tire Track or Fire, they grow much larger. BGK should be fine, but not always, my Ornates ripped apart a new BGK that was nearly their length.
i have 3 juveniles: 5 inch peacock, 7 inch senegal and a 7 inch tire track. I had the senegal for several weeks and just purchased the peacock yesterday and the tire track today. they all seem to be getting along. they are aware of one another. i've seen them examining one another. they often do run into one another being, that they all inhabit the lower portion of the tank. i think they will be ok. i did notice that my senegal moved toward the peacock with his mouth agape. lol . . . but i think they will be ok.
Yea, just got an Ornate yesterday... Woke up today to a half eaten BGK and the Knife was about 2'' bigger than the Ornate.
It coulda had some help tho, seeing as a Senegal and Albino are both in the tank as well, but they have been with the BGK for almost 2 months, and the first night with the Ornate and he's no more.... :-(
