Dragonet goby

Would it work if I were to press some food onto the rocks? Will the dragonet a peck at it and eat it?

Ah I gotcha. That's a pain in the butt.

On the algae front I'm going to guess halimeda, and that's all the different types of algae I know. Lol.

This is what I have mondo lol.

Does anyone know why I keep getting this algae...? I have snails, a sea hare and now a starfish. It seems to come back every time I scrub it... (Every 3 days it shows up again). [

I have had no luck with anything except live food (pods, shrimp) or nutramar. I have heard people with dragonet eating pellets. But that's not their natural food source, can't be healthy for the fish.

No. A dragonet's a creature of small brain, and he's wired to eat just about one thing, and to recognize that one thing as food. I've had them for many, many years, and they just don't routinely eat anything but copepods. I've seen some that will eat pellet now and again, but right back to pods, and that's probably what they're healthiest eating.

I recommend cheatomorpha as the best for raising pods. It shouldn't be lime green, however: what is, isn't getting enough light of the right sort. Mine lives in a dark basement under a 6500k strong spotlight, and is extremely dark green.

Losing the mandy wasn't your fault, be that understood.
