Eel tank mate

I have a few GSPs in my tank and I was wondering if anyone has any info on keeping them with a snowflake eel. I watched a few videos on youtube with people keeping them in the same tanks but I just want a little more feedback. I will only buy it straight from being a young one so it is smaller. I think as long as I keep it fed well enough he won't feel the need to hunt down anything as much. Also if he is smaller I don't think he could fit a puffer in his mouth anyways, I don't know how fast they grow though. Any suggestions?

Eels are a poor mix with most fish, and puffers can be quite bad. GSPs tend to bite worm shaped things, and might well get bitten by an eel ambush. I wouldn't try it.

i have 2 of the snowflake eels. They would eat anything they could catch.
