Are these two compatible? I have the Pike alone with a Clown Pleco for almost two years with no problems, but today I was at Petland and I found a dried up Peacock Eel under one of their displays, covered in dust and birdseed, so naturally, I took him home to try and save him. Minutes after being put in the bag, he shed his debris-caked slime excess (Eels produce excess slime to extend the time it takes for them to dry out when they are out of water) and started swimming around. The Eel is in a breeder box, but at some point, if he survives, I plan to put him into the main tank. Will he be able to hold his own against the Pike? The Pike is female, but she used to be very territorial when I had my other fish, and she likes to shred plants. I could keep them in separate tanks, if need be, but I'd rather just keep them in the one tank. Obviously I wont even try putting them together until the Eel seems recovered, if it survives.
