My son has a dragon fish, what is the best thing to feed it?

Question

The fish is in a 15 gallon aquarium with 1 fan-tail goldfish.

Answer 1

Dragonfish are primarily carnivorous (meat eating) scavengers, so provide him with a high protein diet. Many high quality processed fish foods are available on the market today, and most frozen fish foods are also appropriate. In the wild, most Dragonfish eat primarily aquatic invertebrates, insects, and insect larvae, and opportunistically scavenge old carcasses, so you are best off to try to duplicate this in the aquarium environment. Provide a wide variety of processed, frozen, and freeze dried foods. Your fish should be able to consume all the food you offer within two minutes of feeding. If there is food in the tank after this time has elapsed, this contributes to poor water quality and make your Dragonfish more susceptible to disease. You only need to feed your Dragonfish once a day. If you feed more than once a day you increase the waste your fish are producing and also increase the risk of overfeeding

Answer 2

they are also a brackish fish and require a little bit of salt in the water.

she probably has a dragonfish from walmart, which it's not a dragon at all, it's a bichir or common name dinosaur eel. they are very slow growers and can progress for many years in 30 gallon tanks. ive had mine in a 29 for almost a year before he moved into a 55 gallon.

Answer 3

if it's a BICHIR or an AMAZONIAN DRAGON FISH..or something in that family, you will need to get frozen food for it. Bloodworm, beefheart..shrimp..all works. Shrimp pellet also works. I had a 15 inch dragon, and my 10 inch oscar decided to be the knight and killed him..after 10 months of peaceful co-existence
