well depending on tank size i would highly suggest not doing more than two eels, maybe even just one since territorial issues can spark in too small of a tank

i have 3 tesselata eels in 90 G .They have been there for years. about 4 feet each. doing great and never even tried to fight.Eels wont fight with each other if and only if you know what to do and how to house them.

Unleashed did have eels...but she lost all of her livestock, in a move. She still does have a Tesselata, that she kept in a 90gal but it grew so fast that she was moving it to a 300gal.

Why on earth would you give such horrible advice? Moray species can be kept together (I have a Hawaiian Dragon and a Whitemouth Moray) but do not tell people it's ok to keep Tesselata Morays. You're rediculously uniformed if you think it's ok to keep one, let alone 3, in a 90gal tank. Nor do I believe that they've "been there for years and doing great". You cramp Moray species (especially something as large as a Tess) into a tank that small and you're going to have problems...I don't care who you are.
On top of all of that...what kind of hobbiest are you, to keep THREE
, 4 foot long Morays in a 90gal tank when the tank itself is only 4 feet long???

There are endless choices, with your particular decision for Morays. Both are invert eaters but will take the quick meal of a small fish who wanders too close.
In a 120gal tank you could do just about anything...Tangs, Groupers, Triggers, Lionfish...the list could go on and on.
Provide plenty of rock work (enough for both Morays to completely hide their bodies) and you should be fine.
