Dragnets are hard to keep because they normally will only eat live food like copepods, and they eat all day so you need to buy a lot of copepods or grow them. I wouldn't recommend getting one if your new to the hobby, Great little fish and fun to watch but hard to keep.

I've seeded the tank with about hmmmm... Now, probably 8,000-10,000 copepods. I just wonder of there reproducing. Every time I change out my poly floss there literally hundreds in the floss. And at night if I take a flashlight and cover it with something red I can see 1,000's on the glass and all over the place!! It's so cool!!
