Scooter Dragonets enjoying breakfast βΊοΈ
Their diet, as you can see in the video, mainly consists of live copepods, amphipods, and small crustaceans. They "scoot" along rocks and the substrate, perching on their pelvic fins to hunt
They can be notoriously difficult to feed if placed in a young or sterile tank, as they often ignore artificial flakes or standard frozen foods. Established Scoots may accept frozen mysis shrimp, which we are gradually getting them on π
They are completely safe with corals, clams, snails, crabs, and shrimp. They will need to be housed with other peaceful tankmates, that don't risk outcompeting them
