New Mandarin...

[Eienna]

Don't keep dragonets with anemones, either. They have been known to swim right into them by mistake and get eaten.

Good to know,
I'm not that interested in anemones because I always hear that they eat small fish...
If I ever get one, It will be when I get a much larger tank and after a couple of years
Thanks!

Has anyone mentioned blackworms yet? Manderins will destroy live blackworms no doubt about it, Also imo anyone can keep a manderin as long as they commit to supporting it's eating habbits, It's like buying dog food for a dog as long as you buy it's food when needed then everything is fine, It's just most people do not go through with buying food so they slowly starve.But if your up for supplying it's food then I say definitely keep it she will do great.

Definitely, feeding her will not pose a problem.
My tank is developed enough with so many different neat things growing in it, I think if I put enough in that they'll thrive themselves with places to hide and what not.
If not, then I will be buying bottles probably weekly.

But black worms?
No I don't know what this is...

Good deal she will do great then,Live blackworms is one of the best fish foods there is and even the most picky eaters can't resist them, Sometimes local pet stores will sale them but most likely you would have to order some online from one of the farms in california.Its the only fish food I feed my tanks now.

Yeah, I keep remembering that when I'm away from the computer....lol...Paul B seems to be the authority on blackworms around here, so you might check out his thread here: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/reef-aquarium-discussion/55423-tank-birthday-40-years.html

It's a big thread but he's quite a crackup XD

Anyway, he gives his whole tank blackworms and even the mandarins are spawning.

My mandarin loves blackworms it is hard to get any to them though because the other fish go nuts for them as well

 

[EDM]

i have frogspon and a few other stinger corals , my male drago just swims around them, maybe hes just smart ......

Happy Girl...

Also,
I caught her eating some misis yesterday

 

[FLipp]

scooter blenny are more likely to eat frozen then the mandarin.

 

[bbrklynn]

I don't have a blenny-
I stocked my tank with live copepods for my mandarin.
It was just nice to see her eat the frozen misis as well

 

[Eienna]

Good to hear it!

 

[EDM]

good good, glad to hear she is doing fine
