Do you have a Mandarin?
Wondering...
Do you have a Madarin Dragonette? How long, and what tank size? Eating pellet/frozen foods? Please make select all choices that apply. Thanks! I have a Green Mandarin in a 20 G with fuge. Eating pods for sure, possibly NLS pellets as well. Considering adding a Spotted to my 70G. Forgot to ask.... how long have you had them in your current tank?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. Last edited by paddyob; 01-17-2012 at 03:13 PM. |

i have a blue and red dragonette, in a 90g with a 40g fuge loaded with 50lbs of liverock, cheato,caupelara,halimeda and dsb.
my mandarin doesnt eat prepared foods no interest whatsoever. his competition for food is a six line wrasse. together they dont even put a tiny dent into my pod pop, in the morning just as i flick the lights on i can scrape a row of pods off my glass with my mag float.in my fuge life has taken over and its completely full. i added the mandarin because my sixline is gonna burst hes so fat and i want my pod pop brought down.my mandarin is also very very fat right now. i dont see them keeping up with the growth its just to much for them my fuge is a large breeding ground which is doing amazingly well. thinking about adding a second mandarin in the future.

I have a 150 gallon, with a refugium. I'm pretty sure my mandrin eats pods only, never seen him eat prepared foods. He's nice and chubby, very happy camper in my tank.

I have a pair in my 160 display with 90 gallons of sump/frag tank/water change tank water. My pods breed mostly in my frag/water change tanks and there are lots all over... when I saw them is when I decided to get one.... he was doing great, so I got a female that I was told is eating frozen foods. She was pretty skinny when I got her home... I've yet to have noticed her eating frozen or pellet, but she is getting plumper by the day. Same for the male... I think he only eats pods, but he's nice and plump and happy. I also have a Melanarus Wrasse... and a mystery, mckoskers and solarensis... not sure if the last 3 are pod eaters or not.

I have a breeding pair for over 2 years. They eat live pods and frozen brine/mysid/plankton. They live in a 210 gallon reef. Almost every night they spiral up to the top of the tank spinning real close together releasing sperm/eggs its pretty cool!

I wanted to earlier this year... but time does not allow me to. I also don't have time to set up a third tank for the fry. Any videos of the dancing duo?
