anyone experience with ruby red dragonet?
 
Saw 3 at LFS, was tempted but took to checking info on my phone saw very low survival rate and even less information. Anyone have experience with one or two?

Same care as any dragonet , pod eaters , hard to wean onto other foods .

Thanks I didn't know for sure I assumed but everyone in this hobby knows what happens when you assume about something they are going to put in their tank.

I've had a female for 2-3 months now in a 29 biocube. She is scooting around and seems to be doing very well.

I have heard people having success with them in nano tanks. Anything larger and they just get lost I think.

If your tank is well established and on the smaller side with no pod competitors you should be fine with 1, or if you know it's a pair. I had some red and white ones eating cyclopeeze.


These fish are a craze right now in Toronto. I believe only the 2nd time they have seen them come in, and I keep seeing more and more coming.

Pretty sure we will be seeing this fish more often great looking fish I want one for my nano.how much are people paying for this fish anyone?

I had a couple of males for a few days. Once I realized they were 2 males, I sold one and a day later my remaining male jumped.

Great while I had them, the LFS had them feeding on brine shrimp before they were for sale.

I've heard as much as $109 lately but I paid $60 for mine.

I had one too, he was eating brine and Mysis. They don't seem to be as picky as mandarins. Mine went carpet surfing as well... with a plastic lid on, how it happened is past me.
