I have a 72g with a mated pair, I even found a few babies with the flashlight tonight, they were swimming around inside the barnicles I got for my blennies. Dont expect them to last long but its kewl to see none the less. Female eats frozen but the male is still learning I think, I have a fuge full of macro algae and even stuffed some chaeto in the overflow to help with copepod growth.

I just tried a method mentioned by s.tan with the frozen bloodworms. My male green mandarin dragonet gobbled them up eagerly. I used a turkey baster to target feed him. Turning off the power heads helps too.
I have a 200g tank with about 250lbs of live rock. My setup is only 3 months old so I kinda jumped the gun a bit. He was eating frozen brine at the lfs so I was more comfortable with it. Still I would recommend being more patient then me and waiting for your tank to mature, like 6 months at least. I may get him a mate but not for a while yet.
