Posted	Dragon Fish
11-02-2008 18:06 by Josh1604	So we got a new dragon fish yesterday, i looked up on the internet that they have a hard time finding food bc of the small eyes how would i go about feeding him bc he is real skiddins and if you try and put something in front of his face he swims off. Thanks
11-02-2008 19:30 by telboy	what dya mean by "dragon fish" josh
11-02-2008 19:57 by Fry Lover	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfish one of these Josh?
11-02-2008 20:01 by Fry Lover	this is one type, but basically quite a few fish go by the nick name "dragon fish" especially some Arowana. Even Bichir's can be called Dragon Fish Is your one like this?
11-02-2008 20:09 by Fry Lover	or this (Violet Goby) pretty sure this is it http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/wild/dragon_fish.htm i think they are virtually blind?
11-02-2008 20:53 by Dominic	Whats that one in the picture called? thats a beast!
11-02-2008 20:56 by Fry Lover	type of Dragon Fish, i cant find the link now! Looks like something out of a horror movie
11-02-2008 22:01 by Dominic	Yeah, Badass fish!
11-02-2008 22:13 by telboy	which is why i asked the Q.
11-02-2008 22:25 by Fry Lover	dont worry uncle, i got this one
11-02-2008 22:46 by -Rob C-	I think Josh is more than likely talking about the marine dragon fish, also known as mandarin fish. From what I've read there's no easy way of feeding these guys, the generally only take small live foods.
11-02-2008 23:21 by Josh1604	it is a Violet Goby and i have heard that they eat things like ghost shrimp and small fish but i am really not that sure!
11-02-2008 23:26 by -Rob C-	This article might help. link
12-02-2008 14:12 by Ed	Rob c you can keep the mandarins quite easy but you have to have loads of live rock.
12-02-2008 15:58 by telboy	always ask to see the mandarin feed on frozen in the shop! no probs then, unless in with incompatible tankmates
15-02-2008 03:05 by Josh1604	Thanks Guys
