pledosophy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That's actually a pretty good price for a dragon. I have seen them go for double. If I could afford the huge temperate tank to keep a pair, the fish would be cheap. My friend is breeding them in his home, 3500g just for the breeding pair.

pledosophy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 My homie recommends a 3000g circular tank with at least 5 feet of vertical swim room, I think his is 8 feet. They also require low temperatures close to 63F if I remember correctly, but I could be off on that. He has trained his to frozen foods. He trains the fry to frozen before selling them as well. Raising the fry is similar to other syngnathids. I do know people who have kept adults in smaller tanks (1000g range), but not bred them in smaller. Also not everyone keeps them in a circular tank. I have seen a pair of juvies (6" or so) in a 375g at a public aquariums back room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
