He's a rare species of Giant Hawkfish (Cirrhitus pinnulatus)...just a baby at 7" - 8", as they grow to 20".

Not if it's a Brazilian...I can get those for $80, shipped to me. I'm ALWAYS on the hunt for a good deal on another Hawaiian tho. Eventually, I'm gonna have a species only, with 4 - 6 Hawaiians.

Just by looking at them...
This is a Brazilian:
And you can see my Hawaiian in the pics above.
Brazilians are not a "true" Dragon...only called that because of the elongated nostrils. The only true Dragons are the Hawaiian and Japanese, which are both the same species, just different color patterns because of the different location.
Brazilian are relatively inexpensive...less than $150. The price of Hawaiians is coming down, but if you want a good looking, healthy specimen, you're looking at dropping at least $1000 and more often than not, closer to $1500.
Also, Brazilian are invert eaters...Hawaiian/Japanese are fish eaters.

Hey, Bobby. Remember the thread I had quite a while ago, about the Brazilian I bought in FL and it died in transit? Well, the last time I was down there (2 months ago), I talked to the guy again and he said his price had dropped and he could "probably" get them to me for $80 shipped...$100 at the most. However, I'm not comfortable purchasing anything, right now, and having it shipped due to the cold weather.

Amazing eels, I've always wanted one, but being that I'm fifteen there a little out of my ball park. The LFS I'm about to start working at has 2 Hawaiins in, I'm not sure of there gender (also don't look as nice as yours) but they cost 600$. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else, but didn't a major aquarium offer to buy your dragon from you?

Soooo AW ......lol Now you know I am not a eel person, but I have a question for you.
Can the same species of eel coexist in a tank? Such as two Hawaiians in the same tank.....
Is this typical of all eel species or just certain species?
Ok that is two questions, BTW nice Hawk and eels.
