Quick help!!FISH STOCKING PROBLEM

Question

I am about to put a 1.5 inch red tail shark in with a 6-7 inch fire eel. Do you think the eel will attack it.

Answer 1

It might eat it.

After all Mouth size equals size of fish makes fo a great meal.

If the tank is somewhat big and has lots of plant cover and hiding spots...the little guy my make it long enough to grow too big for the eels mouth...it's up in the air...

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

The eel is mainly peaceful, but if the shark will fit in the eel's mouth, he may get eaten, especially if the eel wasn't raised with small fish in his tank.

Answer 3

Not if the Fire Eel is really peaceful but as stated before any fish will try to eat anything that is smaller that it and will fit in there mouth.

Answer 4

As it is with most fish if anything will fit in their mouth that's will it will ultimately end up.
