Here's a link that might help...

If this is the fish you're asking about, it should be fine with most fish that won't fit in its mouth. Check out your water parameters, and see if they're compatible with the other fish you're interested in, too. Also, make sure your tank is large enough for a 2 or 3 foot long fish...

looking for a second opinion I see. I still think a 40 gallon is way to small for even one.

ok well that helped a lot,
shev, you say its too long, what other thing can i get liek an eel or loache that looks similar and wont eat pictus's pleco or angels or gourmis or chilids ?

I'd still go with a peacock eel. its a spiny eel, doesnt get too large, wont eat your fish, and fits in your tank.
