Quarantined a mandarin for two months and finally!

I put together a Fluval 13.5 full of live rock which had pods. I dosed phyto. I kept a fish to help keep nutrients. This tank had 2 stars and 3 urchins. Ended up being pods everywhere as I cultured. Also my male mandarin hank loves raw brine shrimp eggs. So the other fish didn’t show parasites after 2 months. My main display is last a year old. Full of everything so this week I decided to bring the urchins stars and hank the mandarin to his Waterbox! He loves having so much rock and corals and his best mate is a large acanthophylia that he rests in and sleeps by. Never leaves it’s area thanks

He sleeps right by it and sits in it during the day. Thanks everyone. So happy to have hank so happy

Sorry it’s late for me I didn’t realize this post sounded like a child wrote it. But I’m very happy with the progress and wanted to share. Bless up

Mandarins are such beautiful creatures! I'm sure your boy is happy to be out of QT and is loving his new home! That's funny to see his new place to relax. I have a teeny tiny female I would like to find a male for but I want to let her grow out a bit.
