Oh my goodness... this might be my favorite forum thread of all time. @Stella1979

Here is mine back when I had her. I only had her for a short period. Long story, but I couldn't get her to pack on weight, so I did the right thing and asked the LFS to take her back.

I am prepping my 60G for another though

I’m sooooo jealous. We had a very mature 500g reef a number of years ago. I bought a mandarin but it didn’t live long. A year later I tried again. The second one died too. Since then I’ve been scared to try another. This was 15-16 years ago and collection methods are probably better, but the thought of killing another gorgeous fish makes me sad.

Are the captive bred ones hardier and easier to feed? I’d love to get one. It would have to accept frozen mysis or something because I have a six line that is a hunting machine. Any opinions?

Is that its true color ? What is it called? Would love to get a couple

My first saltwater fish ever. He was alone in a 40 gallons.
He was eating frozen and pellets + pods

I beleive that they are hardier. They would eat frozen cyclops, pellets and mysis. I had to turn all the pumps off for 30 mins though to give it a chance to take bits since he’s a slow eater. Not sure about the six line since I don’t have one.
