Question
i have just recently purchased a dragon fish and would like to know what they eat as right now i have 2 guppies and an angel fish and i feed them the wardley tropical fish flakes

Answer
If your reffering to the Gobioides broussonetti than be aware that they grow to at least a foot. They are rather picky eaters.

Foods:  When dragon gobies eat, they look like filter feeders forcing water into their huge mouths.  Their evidently small throat limits the size of the foods they eat.  Start them on live or frozen blackworms.  Move to frozen brine shrimp and mix in some flake foods.  They seem to locate their food by smell rather than sight.

I found a website that gives tons of information on it, you can located it here: http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Oddball,%20Dragon%20Goby.htm
