    I have a dragonet that eats mushed silver sides formula one flakes and mysis and brine soaked in garlic it took me a lot of patience and target feeding to get him to eat prepared foods as well as pods

They offer great deals with the more you buy, maybe i'll start a group buy thread just to go halfs on a grand or two of them.
    This is going to be a lost battle. The only way you can sustain your pod population is to have a few rubble zones that allow for safe areas to develop for your fauna. But with your limited space it's going to be tough. It would be like me adding a cow to my 8x10 garden and wondering if it could sustain him.

    Your best bet is to target feed the little guy multiple times a day.and use a variety of foods. Best of luck to you.
