can you guys give me some tips as far as feeding goes.
ive read that they have poor vision so i feel that the puffers will have an upper hand during feeding. is there anything (methods) to improve food intake by Dgs?
I havent kept dragon gobies myself but if I'm not mistaken they are filter feeders, gathering nutrients by filtering the tank water and substrate through their gills. Yes? No? Dg keepers confirm? That being true, there shouldnt be an issue of competition at feeding time.
I know some puffers are different than others. My LFS has frequently had their GSPs and DPs in with dragon gobies and barbs, both. The barbs usually were pretty quick to escape the fin nipping, however the dragon gobies always laid adrift on the bottom almost - if not completely finless. Watch closely, if you see any fin nipping, I'd suggest a new home (or back to LFS).
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
I would love to get a DG, but I think my 20g will be too small for it's full length . Funny thing is my F8 I rescued from Petco is quite peaceful now and live nicely with his tank mates of ghost shrimp and gold mystery snails.
