Dragonettes are often considered to be difficult fish to keep in captivity...they can be difficult to get onto foods and are slow deliberate feeders, primarily consuming copepods, amphipods and other small organisms. It is often suggested that fish from this family require a minimum of 50-75 gallons of tankspace per fish, and only in a well established "reef aquarium" (set up at least 6 months or longer) where ample supplies of small invertebrate life are able to sustain these constant pickers.
