THANKS!!!

I went to the LFS to pick up some new coral and what I thought was a Lawnmower Blenny. Turns out it is a Scooter Dragonet. I did some research online, and it seems they are hard to keep. Does anyone have any experience with these? I called my LFS and was told not to worry because they are not as hard as they say.

 

[Bifferwine]

They are considered difficult because a lot of them will only eat live food, so they starve to death in our tanks. Have you tried feeding it? Have you seen it eating? If so, it is not a difficult fish to keep. As long as you can get it eating!

 

[yote]

Scooters will usually take to frozen foods pretty quick,unlike mandrines.Sometimes I think their labeled difficult because they are dragonets.
But I have yet to see one come through the LFS that wont eat frozen foods.

well.... i had my first coral on coral crime in my tank this weekend, and it was not pretty!! During the night my Nassarius snails moved my trumpet coral too close to my acans and they went to town!! lesson learned nothing around acans..... on a good note my scooter is doing great eating very well, and is very active.

 

[U4BOYZ]

I love the rock landscaping! So much to look at.
