I have 3 kelberi PBass 8-12" mark, currently with a 12" ornante bicher.
Thinking of adding a 10-12" tire track eel to the tank, maybe add a few more caves before adding him.

Anyone ever keep bass with tire track eels? How'd it turn out?
 
I have a tire track with my 3 fogos, 3 FL gar, 2 p. gibbiceps plecos and a marble achara (all over 16")
so far the only aggression I've had is between the bass.

I kept my old tire track with kelberi, monoculus, orino, ocellaris and had similarly little issues.

Pretty much as long as the eel is big enough to not be slurped up, which is usually about the same length as the bass, you should be okay

How was feeding the eel, especially with the bass, heard they’re picky eaters. Did yours get on pellets

the old one did and that made it SUPER easy
this current one won't go after pellets yet so i have to spot feed. I gave it 2 caves which it travels back and forth to and i have 30" grippers to drop tilapia/shrimp/smelt down to it. surprisingly wasn't interested in worms. the bass weren't either. 🤷‍♂️
