These are the eel-like, greyish fish, around 6-8" long. You know, the ones with the largish, prehistoric looking heads?
They look really cool, but I haven't had good luck getting them to feed in the past. One vendor offered that they did well in brackish tanks, at the time I had a brack-tank, but despite offering raw meat, earthworms, feeders etc. I only saw it feed one time and this was a small nightcrawler. Like the dinosaurs it so resembled, it became extinct. After two, one in fresh water, I haven't owned another.
Saw some just yesterday for sale and just walked away. I've only just found this great forum and was hoping that someone with Dragon-Fish experience might be willing to share any feeding tricks.
These thing look like they would accept anything as food, including an unwary finger. I couldn't get mine to eat. Any ideas?
