I’ve kept this dragonet for six months in a 75-gallon reef tank. It’s very peaceful and blends well with the corals. The tiny size makes it easy to spot and care for. Only needs a stable environment and regular water changes.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It’s small but vibrant. I’m happy with the peaceful nature and how it doesn’t stress other tank mates. Needs expert care, but worth it for the unique look.
