Can a fire eel coexist with an ornate, endlicheri or congo bichir long term or will the bichirs end up devouring or killing the fire eel?
 
i have a fire eel and an ornate and they lay together all the time but i have a bigger tank to move the ornate to if he outgrows the eel

Have you ever seen a full grown fire eel... they are monsters. 3+ ft and THICK

should be fine


Thanks. I just wanted to make sure since I noted that it was not on Beblondie's list of compatible fish for large bichirs.
 
I have two fire eels- a 10" and a 12" and they cohabitate comfortably with a senegal, an albino sen, an ornate, and an endli- all the polys are 6" and everyone gets along at these sizes. I cant tell you about other sizes though
