How long have you had your mandarin or spotted dragonet?

josh holt · 02/26/2007, 11:01 PM

ive had mine for about two years.

had mine for about a year and a half but he went carpet surfing one day and didnt catch the wave back into the tank. Something must have scared him. SUCKS!!

I had one for about a year. He was the only fish I lost in my 10 hour power outage.

What did you feed them

jay24k · 02/27/2007, 07:10 PM

I've had mine for about 3 years. Never fed them. I added a second one about 20 months ago and now I have a pair who hang out together.

I've had mine about two years in my 90. Had tons of pods. Just put in a sump with fuge so he has plenty of pods. He also eats mysis and I have seen him eat flaked food!

I just got mine this past Friday, but I wanted to add that he eats blood worms.

jay24k · 02/28/2007, 12:58 PM

From what I've read, blood worms are not very good for fish.

Not for saltwater fish at least. Great for freshies like cichlids though.
