What is the best thing to feed to a Mandarin Dragonet - Green? I have been looking into them because they are so colorful but i want to make sure before i get one that I can properly feed them. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

How much live rock do you have and how mature is it? They eat copepods, which breed in the rock. Do you have a refugium?

I have a 75 gallon tank with about 65-80 pounds of live rock in it. The tank has been setup for a year and a half now and i have sump with 10 pounds of LR in it along with my protein skimmer, heater and a light for the little plant life i have in there.

100+lbs is better, but if you have LR in your fuge, and can keep them breeding then you may be alright. Can you put more LR rubble into the fuge? That will give them more areas to breed. Do you see a lot of copepods in the tank now? What other fish do you have?
