Scooter Dragonet Synchiropus ocellatus
Males sport brighter colors and a larger first dorsal fin, which is erected and spread wide when displaying to less ornate females or rivals. To keep more than one, choose two or three females with a single mail. Unlike the mandarinfishes, more than one male can be kept in a medium sized aquarium if all are introduced simultaneously. More pugnacious tankmates may pester the dragonet and prevent it from getting enough to eat. Best kept with docile species.
Challenging to feed. House in a tank furnished with a bed or well-established live sand, which provides live natural foods. Offer meaty foods, including shaved shrimp or vitamin-enriched live brine shrimp, using a long pipette, rigid airline tubing or a poultry baster to deposit items near the fish on the substrate. In a tank without live sand, feed three times daily.
