29 gal stocking

[JosephM]

You guys are talking about him not being able to keep a mandarin unless in a 40g but no day notices the fact it’s a 29g tank and he said he has a sump.
@JosephM how many gallons is the sump?

20 long so in all maybe 15 extra gallons (water level is pretty high)

Overstocked due to aggressiveness or because of tank size

both I guess

flame angels can get a bit nippy

What I said was that my 40G (specifically, 40G display and 20G sump) was not able to sustain a mandarin (I tried one captive bred, which did not eat frozen as stated, and 1 wild-caught) without frequently supplementing pods. I expect that his tank will fare similarly unless he is willing to culture/buy pods.

As he is interested in culturing pods, a mandarin should be fine.

Just because he has a sump doesn't mean he can irresponsibly overstock the tank

Way too many fish for that tank. You can keep a Mandarin in a tank that small, but you will have to externally culture copepods to keep up with the Mandarin's demand for food.

I wasn’t saying that he should add it to his list but perhaps remove some others to put it in and that he could put one in if he cultured pods externally
