Tankmates for a fire eel

[Jox]

There is a guy on here who had one that was very close to 40 inches. Beside it was a small Corydoras which was dwarfed by the eels size. I never heard of a fire eel eating other fish.

Depends on the eel, and depends on the other fish. My fire eels would always eat neons, and cardinals like there was no tomorrow.

Also depends on who they've grown up with. If they have been with some small fish since they were very small, like mine were, they pretty much left them alone, even at 16 inches. But if I added guppies, they would probably become a meal.
