haha, its not set up yet :P

im just really trying to get my initial stocking plan.

how long would i have to wait to be able to put mandarins in?

clown gobies or bangaii cardinals
both will breed in captivity, I've never tried to raise the fry, but it is kinda neat.

Unless you get really lucky and can find a male and a female that eat prepared foods there is no way a 29g could support 2 mandarins. Please don't even consider it

A goby/pistol shrimp pair can be pretty cool

what about a pair of fire fish. the purple ones look sweet

yeah. the only way i would consider having a pair of mandarins in a 29 is if they took prepared foods, or i had atleast 6 seperate jars of active pod farms

i was kinda liking the bangaiis because that way if i wanted to i could raise the fry and it might not be as hard as raising clownfish eggs
