Dragonets are a beautiful, entertaining family of fish for advanced hobbyists. All species are very colorful, peaceful, and remain relatively small.
Dragonets only eat copepods, so an abundant supply is required. Because of this requirement, it's best not to keep dragonets unless you have an established tank that's been up and running for at least a year. Having a refugium in your sump will help with this tremendously since that's an ideal environment for copepods to live.
