Sorry but you asked for advice and received it and now you don't like the answer. Thinking you might get "lucky" and putting together a successful planted tank with the fish you have chosen is not going to work out long term. No one sets out to put together a system that will fail but your chances are much better when you choose fish that are known to be compatible with planted tanks.
If you must have an eel then set up an eel tank. I am sure that you could possibly have some sort of plants in there but it probably will never be a planted tank at least not like you see on this site.
Now comes the time when someone will pipe up and say they did just what you are planning and it was fine. BUT the odds are it will not work out in the long run.
