- Feeding my Spotted Mandarin Dragonets by putting brine shrimp and some pellets in a bottle where only they can enter and have a feast. Doing this is a good way to ensure that your Dragonets are eating without having their food stolen by other fishes.
Scarf and Scarlet have been adjusting really well, this is the first time they experience this kind of feeding. After about a week of doing this they now know full aware that this is a food container.

Idk why but Mandarin fish remind me of Hummingbirds with the way that they move
Some of the nicest macro footage I've ever seen!!
Great idea, great video! I used to clip a turkey baster with frozen food, into my rocks where only the Mandarins could only reach. They'd feed from the tip as the food would advance to them by gravity. After they were finished, I'd wedge the baster with leftover food under my tanks' lids, and let the rest of the tank feed. No waste and the water would stay clean.
Blennies will steal food in a minute! We had to build a special feeder for our Mandarins because the star blenny would run right over them as they tried to eat.
Your Mandarin fish is very beautiful
Thank you!
Good idea and wonderful photography! I've had one of these fish (rapidly become a favourite), for a couple of months and worry about her getting enough food. I use a baster and dispense food (in sandy areas of the tank she frequents most), just after feeding the other fish. It works almost all of the time. But you've got me thinking about a similar arrangement, thanks.
Awesome, Glad this helps! Its good to hear yours are eating and healthy, what are you feeding yours?
@@peaceofmind9409 Frozen brine shrimp. He seems to spit out some of it like yours do but must be keeping a lot of it down as he appears healthy and not thin. But I do worry and am looking to feed him live food soon. That's why I was interested in your bottle feeding method. He's so gentle and when I fed live cope pods the other fish were all over it before he had a chance.
Bealtiful!
Such peaceful vid, dragonets are so mesmerizing. I love seeing mine cruze around, did you manage to get them to eat something else?
Hey Fernando, totally agree that they are so mesmerizing to watch. Team Dragonets haha! I've got them to finally eat frozen mysis, they've even tried flake at some point as well
Sand bed is pristine love it how do you keep it so clean?
I would have to give it to my sleeper dot goby :) and yourself maintaining maintenance
what kind of anenome is that at the begining? @0:33 thanks
Where did u get a mated pair
How long did you do this for? Were you ever able to transition them to frozen brine or mysis?
This took me a while over a period of 2 months for Scarf, my male Dragonette to take forzen. However Scarlet, my female never transition to forzen. She only eats pellets
what camera are U using
I'm using the Blackmagic pocket 4k
Hello, which pellets do you use?
Hey there in this video I was using TDO-C2 Small Chroma Boost Fish Food
How did you train them to eat the pellets I have mine in a mesh in take breeder box till he learns to eat frozens or pellets
Can you keep these with regular mandarin goby?
Sorry for the late reply, if you are talking about the Blue/Green Mandarins I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a big tank. Usually they will fight even if its the opposite sex.
what is the red food in the jar
They are TDO chrome boost, hope this helps
They are ot slow, they are civilised
brine shrimp arent really a feast unless you gut loaded them tbh
Unless they are recently hatched brine shrimp with the sac on them. That's what I've kept my mandarins alive with.
