Yes, peacock eels are sociable and like the company of their own kind.

I keep 3. Peacock eels enjoy company and are more outgoing if you have more of them.

Peacocks are very peaceful and are highly unlikely of bothering any tankmates bar fry. The main problems you are likely to encounter is from placing them with agressive tankmates who are likely to pick on them.

As for the fish listed, I have kept peacocks with all of them without any problems. Unless the gourami you are thinking of is a giant gourami (just putting it out there to remain thorough ) then you shouldn't have any problems as long as the eels have substrate to burrow in (preferably sand).

yeah the general rule with eels is keep them well fed, if you dont they will eat anything that fits in there mouth, i have even herd of people keeping them with neons, and they dont take up very much tank space as there usauly just burryed unnder the gravel.

they can go with anything as long as you keep them well fed, i know that john has kepted them in tanks with very small schooling fish, and very large agresive frish = )
