are you speaking of the psycadelic mandrin? the one that has spots like targets?
if so I will soon post pics of a very tame fat one that we have in our 26bow, he is very very pretty and loves attention the other type of mandrin I have had similar experience with as well, although they do hide alot for the first few months atleast... |

mine is out all the time, and she is a fat little pig. Be sure your tank can support something that will require tons of pods. The chances of it accepting prepared foods are slim.

and like someone said, make sure you have a healthy pod population, it is hard, or should I say luck of the draw to be able to get a mandrin to eat prepared foods....... mine currently eats many prepared foods, he is nice and fat.... |

I guess mine is the psychedelic blue one. I bought him at around one inch. He is now double that size, and usually out and about. He is in a 33 gallon tank, and appears to eat mysis.

you might be ok. It depends on how quickly they reproduce. Make sure you have some "pod piles" for them to hide in.
