considering adding a skeletor eel to my 133gal. tank??
I have a banana eel about 19” in tank for almost a year now and it’s doing really good eats frozen shrimp and is quite active .Would a 12” skeletor eel make a good companion or could this lead to problems?
 
It a risk but possible, under circumstances where you added them together or the skeletor 1st, they would make great room mates. The banana eel isn't an overly aggressive eel but is still a fangtooth none the less. Although a fangtooth they really aren't rippers and tearers, and for the most part get along well with others. I would try it, just be quick to intervene, and really pay attention after lights outs the 1st few nights. Any problems would likely reveal themselves almost immediately, once settled in they will likely be hanging in the same cave.
