I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? 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.

So the shut down is almost complete.

Gramma has been sold.

Majority of the rock has been moved to my 70. The mandarin, maybe tonight I'll acclimate her to the 70.

The fuge is also going to the 70. Going to hang it on the front Of my sump. Since I never built the bottom skirt yet, I can accommodate it now to fit.

Waiting to see the mandarin thrive in it's new home
I said it before but, good luck with the transfer, I hope it all goes well.
I too would want a beauty like that in my DT instead of, say, a back room tank

Acclimated her last night. During the dusk cycle of my lights... Then shut all lights off and dropped her in.

Today she looks fine, no signs of any aggression from others tank mates at all.

The fuge is going with her too!

I am attempting to do the same thing except on a more lazy scale. I am keeping them in my main tank and just watching for mating signals when they are in the tank. These two articles i found seem to explain quite a lot if you are looking for more information. I also made sure that they had plenty of nooks to hide in so they feel more safe and promote mating

They are not easy. They require a live food source to survive as most won't eat anything else. "Most".

In a bigger community target should be fine, but you will never have more than a spawning show. The fry will either be eaten or filtered out.

I ran a 20 dedicated tank. With refugium (currently for sale) on back. It ran for two years and I shut down as no time.
