I could use some more help. I am planning to keep a dragonet down the road. I am probably about 3 months away from that purchase. I read that it takes about 45 days from eggs to egglaying with pods and I would like to be well stocked prior to getting the mandarin. I went to the LFS yesterday to buy a bottle of tigger's to kick start my fuge as I read that those are the mandarins favorite pod. The guy there said that most pods are cold water from northern cal/pacific and they will not live or spawn at reef temps. He said that they simply survive long enough for the dragonet to eat them. He said that he normally carries "reef" pods but was out, so I left empty handed. I decided to do more research before I made the drive to a different LFS. I would like to know what type of pods and/or shrimp I can successfully breed in my fuge at +/- 79 degrees. Thanks,
Justin
