Pink Scooter Dragonette Synchiropus Ocellatus

Overview

The Pink Scooter Dragonette, also known as Synchiropus Ocellatus, enchants aquarists with its vibrant hues and unique, dragon-like appearance. This small, bottom-dwelling species showcases a delightful blend of pink and orange with intricate patterns, making it a mesmerizing addition to any marine aquarium.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, these marine creatures thrive in reef environments, where they skillfully navigate through the coral and rock crevices.

Feeding

Scooter Dragonettes have a specialized diet primarily consisting of live copepods and other tiny crustaceans. They require a well-established aquarium with a plentiful microfauna to graze on throughout the day. Supplementary feeding with live foods such as brine shrimp may be necessary for tanks with limited natural food sources.

Tank Mates

Peaceful by nature, the Pink Scooter Dragonette coexists harmoniously with other non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include small gobies, clownfish, and other dragonettes. It is crucial to avoid housing them with large, predatory fish that may intimidate or harm these delicate creatures.

Aggression

This species exhibits very low levels of aggression towards other fish. However, males may show territorial behaviors towards each other. It is recommended to keep only one male per tank to prevent potential conflicts.

Experience Level

Due to their specific dietary and environmental needs, Pink Scooter Dragonettes are best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. A well-established, mature marine aquarium is essential to provide them with the necessary living conditions.
