dragonet activate

You've already heard the not so early etc stuff so I'll try and add some positive ..

They are a day "swimmer" though they don't really swim as much as hover and toddle about lookin for pods etc..

Feeding well the obvious pods via a fuge, purchase, or a pod farm (fairly easy to make)..

Mine while not the rule feeds quite well on frozen blood worms and cyclopese. Have also seen him take Mysis and adult/baby brine. On rare occasion he's even eaten NLS Marine pellets surprizing the hell outta me.

 

I've had them be active both day and night. They still move around late at night, but not as much feeding and more just gliding around. As long as you have enough copepods you should be fine, I never saw what they were eating but they'd pick around very often for food. I had two of them for about 2-3 years until a massive ich outbreak destroyed the tank.
