If you're really concerned about making sure they have enough food we have had good success getting them to take blood worms and live brine shrimp.

Default Mandarin fish mating

This article has some very interesting information about the complex spawning ritual ( and you thought it was difficult just getting a date for Saturday night); it also talks a bit about how the annual harvesting of 40 million reef fish from the ocean could upset the balance of `things'.

I realize that this thread was started in 2006, but I felt this was an appropriate place to put this post and link.

At least they are easily sexed, as compared with many other fish. As mentioned, food, would be a major concern. I thought I once seen a good article on one of the online mags, but without searching, dont remember which month it was.



charlesr1958,

Welcome to Canreef. I never knew you were a member on Canreef, until now. Its great to see you here. Although not a member on MD, I read it always, esp. following some of your threads.

A unique approach to keeping reef aquariums. Very natural looking. And a great website.



anyways, enough of topic, back to the mandarins.
