Saw a few at AquaSD and they look cool. Can you share your experiences with them?

I think those are also called scooter blennies? Small mouths eats pods unless pellet trained just like any other dragonette type fish

We have a black and white one. Pretty cool fish, very active looking for food constantly. Pod eater for sure but ours took to frozen and pellets fairly quickly. I'm sure you could get that one to do the same

that is really cool dragonet. Anyone know where they have for sale in OC ? He looks expensive. Mike what is the price on one of them ?

Very cool fish. I guess the magic question, "how much is Daddy gonna have to pay for one?"

I had a red scooter Blenny and loved it. It looks similar but the yellow is awesome

I think Chad at coral gazers sold the ruby red version last week maybe he has a few more

I bought one from chad. It's pretty awesome. They are small but really active and super bright! Thanks again chad

Just saw a bunch of these at Tong's. Really cool looking fish and am tempted to get one. $39.99. The guy working there said they will eat small pellet and flake.

Saw a few in coral oasis 25 bucks

Not to be a downer as they are gorgeous! but they will likely starve in a tank if you don't have enough pods, etc…

Would I have better luck if I made sure to observe them eating pellets/flakes at the LFS??

 

[Mrevo]

I heard they're hard to maintain

 

[reefes pieces]

You'll have a lot more luck if they are already eating prepared foods at the LFS but these fish like all dragonets are hard to train. So it might be hard to find one eating prepared at an LFS. Also look at their stomach cavity on these fish. If it's really sunken in then the odds are against you.

I love these guys

Dude those will be $15 soon... Phillipines man Phillipines.

I saw these at AGE. I think they'd be great in a nano but would easily get lost in a bigger reef
