Ruby Red Dragonet

[hopperjl16]

I'm so excited to have this little guy! Just got him yesterday, so I was even more excited when I saw him hopping all about today and eating well. I was trying to get a pic with his dorsal fin up bc it's beautiful, but this is the best I've got for now. I'm surprised my watchman goby is leaving him alone, usually he's a major bully and he's 3x as big as my dragonet. For some reason he's giving the dragonet a wide berth.

I have two for the last 3 years and they are awesome.
Make sure you keep your pod population strong.
After a while they will go after frozen mysis and your good.

I second that, I found mine on the floor one morning and I had a top, somehow he slipped through a crack.

I think I have a decent amount of pods, but I still supplemented when I put him in and plan to keep supplementing for a few months at least.

If the BW make it to the bottom in my tank the ruby's will get them too.
Best live food you can give your fish.

I actually feed my fish with a turkey Baster and they come to eat out of it even my Mandy
