Eel with Guppies??

[Tormented]

I was wondering if a Zig Zag Eel could live peacefully with Guppies, shrimp, snails and Kuhli Loaches?

I read that Zig Zag Eels get only about 7 inches?

They would be in a 80 Gallon tank.

Zig zag eels get huuuugee 30+ incbes. Id think eventually hed mistake the loaches for worms and eat the guppies as well.

Okay, i looked it up, it is smaller than the regular zig zags. Not surexactly how much smalled. Ive seen 7 to 18 inches online. I dont know much about them though.

I think the combo could work. They would eat the fry though.

Burmese Zebra Eels also catch my eye. But all i wanted to know at their small size, would they be a danger for guppies and kuhli loaches

But eating they fry isnt a totally bad thing though.

It's a bad thing if you want store credit.

Yea i guess. But i only have chain stores around here.

 

[bettaowner]

Only chain stores? What kind of area only has chain stores!

 

[Tormented]

A bad one! I only have salt water non chain stores. Well there is one non chain store but i would not give them fish, or buy one from them.

Saltwater independent stores? I would be in so much pain.
