View Marine Fish Compatibility Chart Synchiropus stellatus . Also known as the Red Scooter Dragonet. Their diet requires copepods for success, but they can be weened onto other foods over time. Their mouths are very small and they are very slow and methodic feeders. Many gobies, Dottybacks/Pseudochromis, Damselfish, Anthias, Basslets, and many others will compete and so appropriate stocking should be considered based on the size of the aquarium. Dragonets, along with other fish, corals and invertebrates will also benefit greatly from Live Phytoplankton which is readily available to them in the wild. |
