Peacock eel and mollies

[Ljk09]

So I've been doing A lot of reading (well, what I can find) on peacock eels. As of now I have a standard 55, planted with lots of and hiding places. You can look at the picture in a second as of now I have 4 Dalmatian mollies, 4 sunburst platys, 4 balloon mollies, 5 kuhli loaches and 1 rubber lip pleco. I also have 2 baby Dalmatian mollies. I just wanted to know if a peacock eel would be ok with the fish I currently have, and a few others I plan on adding in the future. My adults are about 4-5 inches I guess (Dalmatian). I'd like to add ghost catfish and some long finned rosy barbs eventually. Also some apple snails. What do you think? I just worry about someone getting eaten.

As far as I can tell u shud b fine. Peacock eels arent aggressive & are usually fine with anything that wont fit easily into its mouth

Any word on the rosy barbs? I read they tend to be aggressive.

 

[Freddie]

No particularly. You might hav some problems with fin nipping

I kept many barbs( gold, rosy,,glass and tiger) with a peacock eel. Everyone was fine with the eel. Someday I hope to have another eel, they are great. You have a ton of hiding spots so after it gets comfortable with everything, you should see it out a lot.
