Those are really cool! Can you still buy sea dragons? Do you have anything else in the tank with them?

You can NOT own sea dragons without the proper permits and each one of those critters are in the $7k-$10k price range.... OUCH...

here's some more Dragon Fish. This one is from the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN. I had to shrink the image to upload, so hopefully you can see it.

...You can get anything you want. Illegally. These are protected by the Australian government, and only public aquariums can obtain them legally. I believe many years ago, there was a biologist who was able to take a Sea Dragon home for himself, because he needed to be healed up, so he brought him home (with permisson, obviously), healed him up, and by the time they had, they removed that exhibit. But, they do sell on the black market for anywhere between 7,000 and 20,000.

Thanks for the extra info on these guys. I found them very interesting to watch and I knew that I had never seen them for sell. I did not know that they cost so much. :scared:
