Can I get a peacock spiny eel?

[XimeD]

So, my 20gal tank is finally cycled, water parameters:

ammonia <0.25ppm (i feel it migh be a little bit above 0pmm)
nitrites 0pmm
nitrates ~5ppm
pH = 7.4
Temp 77-78F
kH - 100ppm (6 drops on the API test kit)
gH - 200 - 400ppm (18 drops on the API test kit)

My tank is currently stocked with:
2 Red Tail Tinfoil barbs (2in and around 3in)
2 giant danios (1.5in and 2in)
1 common pleco (2in)

Yes, I know all these fish will get too big for my tank, I will be getting a 75gal at some point (maybe in a few months)

So, I saw some peacock spiny eels at the pet store last night (around 5in I think) and I was wondering if I could keep one of these in my 20gal. The plan is to move all these fish to my 75gal when I get it and keep some cardinal tetras, a couple ADFs and some other community fish in my 20gal.

Suggestions? Advice?

PS: I would appreciate fast replies, I figure those eels will go fast.

Thanks,

They can go in a tank with those fish but it will need a 30g atleast. They are wonderful fish and amazing to watch. I currently own 1 and plan on getting more in my 75g. If you upgrade soon i would say they would be fine in a 20g FOR NOW. So if you plan on upgrading go for it. Make sure you look up and know what a peacock eel is exactly as it is not uncommon for tire track eels to be listed as a peacock eel as the tire track eel gets 3 feet long and need a 300g or more and they need special dimensions.

I am fairly certain they were peacocks, they had the eye spots on their tails. I am planning on upgrading in 3-4months (after the new year/Xmas spending lol) Would that be enough time? One thing I am not sure of is how fast these guys grow.

I would say shoot for it, but i would make sure you upgrade as soon as possible. Hope everyhting goes good for you.
