Manderin with BTA

[KieAnderson]

Hello,

I have a RedSea Max Nano 70ltr. I have two clowns, 1 fire fish and a BTA.

I was thinking of adding a Manderin but I am awaiting for my tank to Mature. Plus setting up a 20ltr copepod culture.

I was told that you shouldn't keep manderins with any type of Anenome?

Does anyone keep them with Nems?

I've never heard such a thing. I keep a mandy in a tank with several btas.

Really would reconsider putting one in a tank that size, even with a small culture. Also, BTAs don't usually kill/eat fish. Carpet nems on the other hand are fish eating machines.

If the mandarin is healthy then you shouldn’t have a problem

As mentioned your tank is small for a mandarin, however I have 2 dragonets with many BTA, RFA, and maxi-mini anemones with ZERO issues in 5 years.
