The Draconettidae, slope dragonets, are a small family (about 12-14 species) of fish in the order Perciformes.

They are found in temperate to tropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian and western Pacific Oceans.

[2] They are closely related to, and appear similar to, the fish of the Callionymidae.

They are small fish, the largest species reaching 12 cm (4.7 in) long.

[2] The larvae are planktonic, while adults live in the benthic zone on soft bottoms from the edge of the outer continental shelf and on seamounts down to around 600 m (2,000 ft) deep.
