Fattening up ruby red dragonet

[ttam]

As the title states I am looking to fatten up my dragonet as he has a slightly inverted stomach.
Anything is appreciated.

order some pods online or try your LFS for live pods.

I've been feeding my green mandarin nutramar ova. He gobbles it up. He was very emaciated at the petco that I saved him from. Still won't eat any other frozen food yet.

It eats rods pretty well but doesn't seem like he is thickening out very well

If I could find it again, nutramar ova prawn roe is great for feeding the dragonets... if anyone has a source post it up...

You could give PaulB's method a shot.

What Blend Rod's food are you feeding it?

I haven't been able to find Ova for a long time! Where did you get it?!

My local fish store had it. You should be able to order it online if your lfs does not carry it, but shipping will be expensive.

I have not seen it in stock anywhere online in a long time.

I hope nutrimar ova comes back on the market soon.

Brine shrimp are a high source of fats if you can spot feed him frozen or even hatch live babies and feed.

How often do you feed? Tank size? Other fish?
