their expensive. search on google, Ive seen them between 400 dollars up to 1200 dollars. They are awesome though, I have seen them diving. Very buetifel. Probably hard to keep, and I just wouldnt keep one b/c of the risk. All eels have a risk of getting out of the tank, or being finnecky eaters. If you have the money, and the right size tank go for it. Oh and by the way I would reccomend it be the only thing in the tank.

their not to bad when it comes to eel keepers
if its your first eel i woudent get it as your first just because of the price and so you get use to keepin morays
id get a easier goin moray and after a couple of years get one
their main diet in the wild is fish
but they will eat just about anything in captivity
very expencive (400 dollars is a steal)
and you deffinetly need to have somthing to keep the eel from getting out
with that much money in one fish id have a lock on the tank just so they cant push the top off and get out

What do you want to know, exactly?
Search for threads of mine, under the name AW2...(I was formerly AW2). There's been a fewwhere people have asked and we've gotten into very long discussions about them. I have a 30" female Hawaiian Dragon.
They're truly amazing Morays, but the $1000 - $3000 price tag usually throws people for a loop. If you have the means and the money to buy one, I'd say go for it.
A 110gal. tank would not be suitable for a Dragon and other fish, though. If you wanted the Dragon alone, a 110gal. would be fine...any tanks mates and I'd suggest nothing less than a 130gal. - 150gal, depending on the tankmates you wanted.

Not hard to keep, at all.

Actually, most are perfectly content with staying in the tank and I've never known a Moray to be finicky (sp?), when it comes to eating.

Very untrue. Morays are just fine at being kept with other fish. I've kept my Dragon and Whitemouth with many other fish and have never had a problem.

Also, incorrect. They're fish eaters, as you said...so, they shouldnt be "anything".
Feeding is an expensive part of keeping a healthy Moray. Fish eaters, such as Dragons, need to be fed WILD CAUGHT, fresh ocean fish, such as Grouper, Trigger, Squid, Octo, Salmon, Tuna, etc.
