GT350pwns Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have loved these fish ever since I first saw them online. But, i haven't bothered to pick one up because of the prices and rarity online. Well, one of my lfs had a GORGEOUS young male in stock the other day and I couldn't help myself. Especially for $15. So far, the little guy has been in the tank for 2 days and is fat and happily grazing pods (of which there are a lot) in my 36 gallon bow front. He has seemed intrigued by mysis and reef frenzy that I feed the tank with 2 or 3 times a week. But, hasn't taken any nips at it yet. Any tips or tricks to get this little guy super interested in prepared? I may have to do a brine hatchery and transition over to frozen but I really don't have the space for it... Link to comment

ManGups Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The draogenet needs to be trained. Search google & Nano-reef with key words dragonet training feeding station. Also start with "nutramar Ova" (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18988), then next phase Ova Nutrmar mixed with frozen food + Flakes (adjust % quantity over time ti increase % or frozen and decrease % or Ova) . Once on frozen then you can start with frozen and flakes& pellets mix and follow same procedure of adjusting % of frozen. The above has worked for me well. There are some other methods also NOTE: Young females are easiest to train and males are tougher. Link to comment

GT350pwns Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thank you for the link to nutramar ova. I have actually been trying to find a place with it in stock for awhile now. Just have to swallow the insane shipping cost for a couple of flat packs lol. I was hoping he would take interest in that reef frenzy food that I picked up the same day I grabbed him. But, i think the pieces are too big even though it is the nano forumla. He is also a very tiny guy. Probably 3/4 of an inch long. Link to comment
