The Ruby Red Dragonet's diet consists mainly of Copepods - so it is best suggested to introduce them into an established reef tank with plenty of live rock, and an ample Copepod colony. In addition, offer finely chopped meaty preparations such as vitamin-enriched Brine shrimp, finely chopped Mysis shrimp, finely chopped Krill, Clams and Crab flesh. Their mouths are very smell, so be sure to make the preparations small enough for the Ruby Red Dragonet to eat. They will thrive at a temperature range of 75-82??F and a pH of 8.1-8.4.
Love this dragonet!!! It just goes about exploring the tank and minding its own business.

I received my Ruby Red Dragonet and he was perfect. Very healthy and did well when entered into the tank. However, after 8 days I found him dead on top of the glass canopy. He apparently had scooted up the filter or skimmer tube and out onto the top of the canopy where he died. I had not read that these fish were bad about getting out of the aquarium and I only have about a 2" gap between the back of the aquarium and the canopy so I'd highly recommend that you have a very secure and tight fitting top on the tank as these little guys are not great swimmers but can scoot along any surface very easily.
