eel compatibility

Would a zebra, snowflake and chain link all get along in the same tank?

I have seem combinations of these eels that have worked, but not all 3 together. I would think in a large enough tank it would work, the zebra alone needs at least a 180g.

I am getting ready to take delivery on a 450 8-36-30 tall. Would that be big enough?

They should be fine together in that size tank.

In a 450 gallon tank, fish compatibility becomes a slightly different kind of an issue

If you put a baby snowflake and a grown zebra in the same tank, you're likely to have a very fat zebra... but as long as they're reasonably close to the same size, I doubt you'd have a problem. With lots of rock, plenty of hiding places, that's a big enough tank for the fish to get out of each other's way.

Thanks guys, yea I am going to try and get a 15 plus inch snow flake and chailink to go with a smaller zebra.

I would love one of the larger eels but I feel like they would eat some fish. With these guys I feel like I'll be much safer. The smallest fish in the tank once full grown will be about 8 inches.
