Pea Puffers and eels

You could but I don't think it would be a good idea. We had dwarf puffers in with other much larger fish at work and they kept nipping their fins. It would probably stress the eel out completely.
Isn't a 10g kinda small for the eel anyway? If you upgrade to a larger tank eventually you could try a South American Puffer. Not a really aggressive species. I keep mine with kuhli loaches, and various catfish which the 5 SAPs leave alone. The only thing they will go for is fish with longer fins and attitudes (like angelfish).
Have you reseasrched their adult size & minimum tank size recomendation? Don't ever to by what a shop tells you--they just want to sell you something.
I did not go to a shop I posted a thread and searched the web. and from what I heard I can keep 3 zebra spiny eels together in a 10g
So 1 guy here tells you it's ok & you believe him? That's your research? You're not really a marine biologist are you?
I hope you are least only looking at the M siamensisis. They only grow to 10".
