Johnny,
Like i mentioned my dragon made my 300 gallon look small so IMO a 120 or a 125 is going to be crammed int he long run which i beleive will only cause him to make it "his tank" on the other hand if you have a larger tank like mine then all the fish have their own space to swim so to speak which causes much less conflict. It will also be a challange keeping corals with him in there.

how long did it take to reach that size? how come people keep more than 1 moray in like a 75 or 90g for years? also there will be no coral in there, im looking where i can buy a 240g at a decent price

the dragon has been attacking the snowflake and everytime/day i feedmy fish the dragon comes out and needs to eat to, is this normal? has anyone kept a brazilian with another eel?

me eel was close to 5 years old. but depending on feeding/diet they get really big really fast.
Also dont overfeed! you have to get a schedule setup wheres hes only eating every 2-3 days just enough until his belly is bulging not until he doesnt want anymore. Remember the old rule with animals, its Feast anf Famine and an eel is no exception, they will eat until they make themseleves sick due to the fact that they dont know when their next meal will be.
Several morays can be kept in the same tank and it doesnt need to be large, your correct, but with other animals in there besides their kind they will tend to get aggravated quick without their "own space" for a lack of better words. Brazilians are pretty docile as far as the eel community goes...to an extent so ive learned.

it attacked the moray twice now and i think because it was hungry, everytime i feed my tank it swims around and wants to eat the flake food floating on top, i will try to set up a fedding schedule, but this guy is a monster when it comes to eating. i just got 55 pounds of marco rock and make a big cave in the middle ill put some pics up when the water clears. i plan on getting a few more peices cause i got 3 huge pieces and 1 small piece.
