I’ve been looking into this for a while now, I have a small banded moray (echidna polyzona) and was thinking of getting another eel (most likely a Skeletor echidna xanthospilos) I have a 4ft 75g. Is this possible, both seem to be timid species. is the tank ok for both, or is it too much of a risk/too cramped for both. I have 50-60lb of rock, and a 4(ish)in sand bed.
I feed my current eel salmon and shrimp. 2 times a week.
This is just an idea, if I do end up getting a second eel it won’t be for a while (at least a few months)
Thanks.

Those 2 are fine together, the 4' tank would be at the minimum suggested tank size. Even though both are pebbletooth eels, careful stocking of fish would be suggested. In a smaller tank small fish would be at more of a risk. For long term suggest feeding eels does need to be a gorge/fast routine, so during fasting small fish could become a snack.
