I am going to get a Mandarin Goby for my tank. He is going to be the center of the tank well for the fish anyway. I will be adding coral. My question is how do I care for a dragonet while it is in quarantine? Should I add a copepod hotel and dose with copepods? If so how often should I dose?
 
I don't think you qt mandarin due to their slime coat. Hopefully someone else can confirm
 
You can quarantine a mandarin, as observation. Yes pods will have to be provided. Mine eats hundred a day.
 
heres how i qt my mandarin. i setup a small tank, went to the lfs and bought some live rock, put it in and cycled the tank, after about a month there were pods everywhere!!! so than i bought my mandarin and kept him in there for 3 months observing while he was fed very well.
 
Sorry forgot to specify qt with treatments. I think qt and assume treatments. My bad
