Orion September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Picked up this little guy earlier this week from monkiboy/ERC. Immediately started cruising for pods when I put him in the tank. The colors on him are even better in person than what the picture shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion September 29, 2014 Author Share September 29, 2014 I should have said "her". Oops it's a female as the dorsal fin is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcrazyjoker81 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 It is a lot of work, but just again shows you the dedication ERC has to get us the best product around. FWIW i trained my mandarin to eat blackworms. He goes nuts watching them squirm right in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkiboy September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 thanks for the respones and interest in these guys. i don't do a lot of dragonets in general because of the overwhelming work on top of the regular effort involved in our unmatched, personal, and comprehensive protocol. the biggest, as hinted at, is water quality and maintaining it high during near constant feeding. all of these will snack on thinly ground LRS but customers should definitely have a stable system with sufficient time set up that can sustain the specimen with pods as their natural diet.

Enkay September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 My mandarins eat blackworms as well. IF anything falls near them and then there is this long deliberation and thinking before they will pounce on it. Its kinda fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
