Started my 32.5 gallon about 7 months ago and wondering when could I add a ruby red dragonet that feeds off of copepods ( I added a bottle of copepods after cycle)

Stocking list
2 clown fish
Yasha goby and 2 pistols shrimp
Anemone and anemone crab
A couple different species of macro algae
5 hermit crabs
3 nassarius snails
2 emerald crabs
Pincushion urchin
Fire and cleaner shrimp
And a couple other snails

Have a sump? That tank is a little small unless there are extra measures for copepods to flourish.

No, I have an all in one with some sponge, carbon and filter floss
If it is something you really desire there are still options. Adding a pod hotel or increasing safe reproductive area. Buying a fish that has been acclimated to eat other things. Or just regularly dosing pods and phyto.

You have to keep something in mind about these fish though. Normally they hunt all day, non stop. If you get one that's eats frozen or pellets, make sure you are feeding multiple times a day.

Thanks so much, there very beautiful fish but if my tank is not fit for them or just barely I would rather not get one.
