Havok_9 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My neighbor is breaking down his 125gal and offering me his pair of dragonets that are trained to eat frozen. Would I be able to keep them in my 30 gallon if I fed them 2x a day? Ive got a 10 gallon sump with a fuge full of cheato for pod breeding. Its so damn tempting. The female is a beautiful red.

hinnenkm Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've got a pair in my 17 gallon that are trained on frozen and I feed twice a day - no sump. I do overfeed though and just make sure to keep up on water changes. Best of luck with your decision! Link to comment
Havok_9 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think I'm gonna try it out. I don't mind supplementing pods once a month to keep them snack-healthy Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've had a red scooter that eats frozen in my 20L for about a week and it looks to be plenty of space for him to roam and hunt. You should be okay in a 30G with two, but remember their heavy feedings will add more load than something like a damsel or whatever. So waterchanges are very important. Link to comment
Havok_9 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yea, I've seen my neighbor feed the pair and its pretty messy. I might just bump my water changes to smaller more frequent ones. I've seen a feeding technique where a glass jar is used to keep the food confined, I may experiment with that. They're pretty shy. Thanks again for the feedback! Link to comment

It definitely helps. Link to comment
River_styx Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I agree, glass jar is really good. I use an empty spice jar- its big enough for the mandarins and small enough to keep clowns out. Link to comment
