Found this site/product the other day for those of us with Scooters, mandarins or other dragonets...
http://www.dragonetsden.co.uk/instructions.html

Yes the product is called "Dragonets Den", I love the play on words, I bet Theo wotsisface
hasn't got one of these...

It's a dragonet feeding station, if mandarins are anything like my scooter they are so much finickey feeders as pretty dumb and docile so other fish get there first or the food get blown away by the current before it registers with them what it is!

So these clever folk have come up with a little box to feed them in, apparently they can be trained to enter the box, you squirt the food in there and they munch away in peace & get their fill.

I think its cool, but no room in my nano, so for now, until the upgrade gets done, I just have to stick with the turkey baster and a lot of pointing & shouting..."It's right there ya muppet!!"

Hi Gav,
Thanks for the kind words. Finally got the sponsoreship sorted so I could reply to the thread LOL
As discussed I am working on a nano version of the Den, a little bit shorter but hopefully enough room for them to still turn around and swim out. I have tried it on my lot, but they are so used to the Den so hopefully it will work on your scooter.
PM me you address and I will get it sent out, and you can report back :D

could you do one with an aperture you could attach some tubing and a syringe.

yeh I can, but what I find is it then become a lovely siphon and if you have kids like I do, then its not such a hot idea
