Ruby Red Dragonets

[anth245]

Was wondering the best way to approach getting 2/3 red dragonets in a 100g tank. (Branching off from my earlier "lets stock" thread)

If the tank is mature with pods it shouldn't be an issue? however i have 2 leopard wrasse that would likely out compete it sadly. does anyone have any experience keeping these in a large aquarium? to see my stocking list check out my earlier thread. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2542631

Thanks!

Ruby red are easy to train. Put him in QT and feed mysis. Wean it off pods. Thise leopard will destroy your pods. My pair cleaned out a 150gal

ye sounds fine, will stock up on pods and use my 30g qt for a while?

more than enough. I usually QT in a 20gal or 10gal for small fish. If he's not eating, you can try place a live rock or some chaeto inside.. it should have some pod population. or you can buy bottled pods. Feed it mixed with some chopped mysis. I would also add some fish roe inside to get them interested.

Ye 30 g is all I have so will make do, unfortunately nowhere sells pods in London so I'm going to try set up a box or something
