Yea at the swap ... I like these fish but I wish they did not eat pods and ate what every one else eats in my tank

Seen them at aquarium village bout 2 weeks ago. Beautiful fish! Even the wife was amazed.

From what I've seen online, most are eating ova.

Thanks @empire

@mheaven could you let us know how they do in your tank?

These are really a Mandarin. They eat pods and pods only, except in the rare case when you can train them to eat pellets or frozen (and create a setup so that other fish don't eat all the food first)

Not sure you are right about this. We have brought them into the store for at least a month and I personally have kept 2(about month) and they eat Nutramar Ova and Spectrum tiny pellets.

LIAndy: while I cant comment on what you've done, these are dragonets, they are know to be tough to keep. Perhaps these are better than other dragonets?!?!

Ive had the normal ruby red dragonets, and they only ate pods. Ive had mandarins and they only ate pods.
