What does “dragon” mean?

Dragon is a trade and strain name rather than one perfectly standardized pattern. Many examples combine metallic or snakeskin-like body markings with a vivid solid or patterned tail. Compare the fish itself instead of relying only on the label.

Protect the large tail

Use manageable current, smooth decorations, and peaceful companions. Broad red fins show tears clearly, so clean water and quick attention to damage are important.

Feeding for health

Offer a balanced staple food and small portions of varied frozen or live foods when appropriate. Color comes mostly from genetics, while good nutrition helps the fish display its natural potential.
