eels in the same tank?

I have a golden moray and a bamboo shark in a 320. Was wondering about adding another eel. Not really sure what type yet or if it's even possible. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

It depends on the second species of eel. If they are of comparable size, some eels will sit well with each other. Although I am of the opinion that it is only a matter of time before they will fight. I have kept eels together before, but inevitably they will eventually fight amongst each other and one will show up injured. I'd say not to do it. But if you're going to, check to make sure they are the same size, and make sure the two eel species are fairly passive to other eels/fish.

Sounds a bit risky. I would hate to have something happen to my golden moray. Thanks for the advice.

I don't think you would have a problem with a snowflake eel of similar size, especially in a tank of that size.

chain link and snowflake eels will get along just fine. Make sure they are introduced at same time (relatively) and keep them well fed. If it starts getting out of hand, watch them and chase them around with your hand or stick when they come in contact with eachother. this (eventually) will get thru to them as "dont fight him" good luck
