That is a tough one. What size is your tank and can you put up a picture so we can see what it looks like and what kind of hiding spots they’ll have.

 

[Phil248]

The tank is about a 180. I can't put a picture at the moment But there are multiple pieces of PVC pipes, and some Java ferns anchored to a large piece of driftwood. There are also a few "caves" in the back.

120 gallon, typo. The tank itself is about six feet long

I wouldn’t. Peacock eels are tropical, and dojos shouldn’t be kept at tropical temperatures for extended periods. Also dojos need the company of their own kind, and would be a bit too active and boisterous for a spiny eel imo.
