same as a seahorse very slow eater so it cant be in with any aggressive fish, they are reef safe, but make sure it is eating frozen, then get some vitamins for the food i use vita chemi have good luck with mine but i have heard of them not making it i think it is because they were not eating. i would still research because i have never had a yellow this is all in general info

mine eats 100% copepods from what i see. i use garlic with my mysis and he still eats pods all day. he may eat small pieces of shrimp but he LOVES pods, and it's there main food int he wild i think. he is swimming on the side wall directly behind me looking for pods as i type (the tank is next to my comp).
they need same requirements as a seahorse. so any of the threads on here with that info, like The Archive thread i made especially, will have plenty of info.
The Archive thread has posts from tons of people that are very helpful.

thanks for the info. I think i'm going to pass on it for now as my mandrain dragonet is already giving my pod population the how to and what for. I'd hate to get it and have it go belly up due to lack of food.
