Dragonets

Dragonets are a group of small, colorful fish that are popular in the reef aquarium hobby for their unique appearance and behavior. They belong to the family Callionymidae and are known for their intricate patterns and bright colors. Dragonets are bottom-dwellers and require a tank with a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial towards their own kind. These fish are finicky eaters and prefer a diet of live copepods and other small invertebrates. It's important to have a well-established aquarium with a stable copepod population before introducing dragonets. They are not recommended for beginners due to their specific dietary needs and sensitivity to water quality.
