ORA fish
 

Just wondering if you can order ORA fish? I'm looking for their mandarins when they become available.

James

Same here!

are mandrins hard to care for?

They've benn hard to care for before because all of them were wild caught and used to Copepods as food. So people had trouble getting to get them to eat frozen food. The ORA mandarins on the other end are the first commercially captive bred mandarins to be seen, keening that they are frozen food from when you buy them.

ORA? and if there captive.....that means there.........easier?

ORA is a company that sells captive bred marine life, and yes if the mandarins are captive bred they are easier as they are now brought up eating frozen food.

mk maybe i will get some of those with seahorses

Seahorse would be a good anology actually because if they are wild caught they tricky to get eating while captive Bred are raised eating frozen. just like mandarins!!

I will be interested to see if they are much easier to keep than the wild caught as this is really the first generation of captive bred. I would do your research to see if the mandarins and seahorses would be compatible in a tank. There wouldn't be confrontation but they each have their own unique needs (atleast with the wild caught mandarins). In the past when I had seahorses I found I really had to be careful who I kept them with.

Mandarins
 

Hi James,

I have their fish list and they will update me when the mandarins are available.

Thanks.
