JBJ 28G Stocking list help

[fishytime]

28g is too small for any kind of a dragonet.....even with a fuge.......unless the fish is for sure eating a prepared food, IMHO........

since you have the top on the tank, think about a small blennie.....like a tailspot or barnacle.....great little fish with tons of pesonality.......or how bout a bluespot jawfish?.....

whats your experience with dragonettes?
I kept a male and female pair for over a year in a 12 gallon aquapod...
FYI - the hoods are very easy to mod for a small fuge...like a modded aquaclear.

I still have that same pair to this day.

The tank was established for a few years before I put them in, I also filled one of the rear sump compartments with live rock rubble so that pods could reproduce there without predation from the dragonettes.

neither of my fish were captive bred though both now accept pellets after around 4 years of living with me....they still dont care much for frozen.

lets see.....I had a breeding pair in my 110g before and have a scooter blennie now.......Ive also worked at a LFS for the past four years so I have plenty of customers experiences to draw upon as well.......that coupled with the overwhelming information on the net stating that, though it can be done in a smaller tank, the success stories are few and far between......I congratulate you on your success.....your a better reefer than I
