you could have something like a blue ribbon eel which are great to watch and really nice if they eat well for you but something like a true moray would outgrow that size tank ... u should be able to get away with a banded moray or chainlink for a long time if you want a true gymnothorax

I actually asked that question sometime ago and you can keep something simple like a Snowflake Eel in a thirty gallon tank with great success.

ribbons are hard to keep

i had a chainlink in a 29 for a long time...depends on how often you feed him to how fast they grow..

Snowflake Morey* I'm also looking for info on these eels and am thinking about keeping one in a 29 gallon tank. Would it be ok in a reef tank? I heard they might eat your fish, unless you feed them good. I saw one at ***** for 18$. It was cool. They are colorful, and active. Their where two damsels hanging out with it when I went to the store. It looks o.k., but I don't know about inverts. I heard a story of one jumping out of a tank...
More info would be nice...
Here you might find something-
