@tRiP - What kind of substrate are you using, crush corals? And whats the diet of your peacocks, can they eat small fish?
 
I have 6 eels, this is the last time ive saw most of them. I have 4 spotted peocock eels, one albino, a 32" fir eel, and a 12" tire track eel.

It's pool filter sand with some left over pieces of their old gravel. The peacocks are eating small squid tentacles, mysis shrimp, blood worms, not sure if they're eating anything else since I rarely ever see them except for their heads sticking out, I don't see them much unless I'm downstairs around 3 or 4 am. The fire eel eats all mentioned above along with freeze dried white shrimp, market shrimp and mussels, the peacocks could be eating that as well but I haven't seen them go for those items, but I can usually lure them out with bloodworms but once those are gone they bury themselves again.

I know i'ved asked this once in another forum. But is a 75g a minimum tank size for a full grown tiretrack eel?
