The diet of Blue Star Pearl Dragon should include frozen meat foods such as concentrated bran shrimp, concentrated harvest shrimp, plankton, etc., as well as high-quality granulated or flaky foods.
The Blue Star Pearl Dragon sleeps under the sand at night, and when frightened or threatened, it also uses the sand as a protective place. They also sift through the top layer of the bottom sand, looking for small worms, small crustaceans, etc.
When you first enter the tank, you will see the Blue Star Pearl Dragon dive into the sand and stay for hours, days or even longer. Don't be surprised, just be patient and wait for them to come out, digging holes in the bottom sand to find your fish will only put unnecessary pressure on them.
Blue Star Pearl Dragon can be kept alone in male and female pairs, or it can live in large sea tanks with many other creatures. It resembles a harem consisting of 1 male and 2-3 females. They can be kept with other mild-tempered bulbuls, but should be chosen with caution. It should be noted that the larger the sea tank, the greater your chances of success.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > considerations</h1>
In order to ensure the safety of the fish, the following must be done:
1, all the longhead fish, regardless of genus or species, are active molecules all day long thinking about jumping tank. Protection of the sea tank is essential. The best solution is to use a transparent anti-jump net of around 6MM. The material's effect on light penetration is negligible, and the holes are small enough for fish to pass through.
2. Provide multiple daily feedings. Blue Star Pearl Dragon is a very active fish and needs to be fed meat for more than three meals throughout the day. The cylinder should be arranged with enough hiding space. To reduce stress, the Blue Star Pearl Dragon needs caves and hidden places, which is especially important.
3. For a mature sea tank, the Blue Star Pearl Dragon is looking for live food all day long. Aquarists should provide them with plenty of copepods or other small crustaceans in a timely manner.
4, blue star pearl dragon needs at least 3-5 cm of bottom sand. They bury themselves in bed at night, and when they feel threatened, they also dive into the sand for protection.
As with all pearl-veined rumbles, adapting blue star pearl dragons to captivity and eating ready-made foods can be a challenge, quarantine before entering the tank should not be less than 4-6 weeks, it is recommended to use praziquantel or levamisole for about 10 days of preventive treatment for worms, and use the time of quarantine to add the bait link. Once they adapt to their new environment, they are easy to raise and become "superstars" in your love tank.
