The best arrangement of gem dragons in their habitats

dragonvale

Currently, there are 4 habitats on the Gem Dragon island, and each can hold multiple gem dragons. I finally have more than 4 gem dragons, so now I have to decide how to arrange them. What is the best arrangement to earn max gems? I'm particularly interested in avoiding gem loss by leaving them for too long. They have such a long timer I often forget to check them in a timely manner.

All the Gem dragons thus far (except the Jade dragon, which has as slightly slower timer) have the exact same timer and all the habitats have the exact same storage capacity. The only optimal pattern is to make sure as few dragons are in each habitat as possible; instead of keeping 3 in one and 1 in all others, put 2 in each habitat, for example. If you have Jade dragons, space them out evenly (or, more likely, keep a single one) to minimize their impact on your gem earning rate.

At level 10 each dragon will give one gem every week (always level these dragons to 10 first! they have by far the most to gain from your food). Each habitat will hold three gems.
