Help decide what fish I get in the new nano! The tank is going to have some soft coral and is open top so no jumpers all ideas welcome please post any ideas!
 
Is diet the biggest problem with dragonets? I've heard most mandarins accept brine shrimp

It all depends. If you buy a mandarin, of any kind, from your LFS; have them feed the fish frozen food such as Brine Shrimp, Cyclopeez, etc.

Both of my mandarins first ate live pods but I have since, and easily, trained them to eat frozen foods. They even eat it out of my baster.
 
A green mandarin it will most likely be I love their appearance I will be sure it's on frozen first

You can always get some reef stew from your LFS or buy some pods. I am selling live amphipods but have to wait to gain access to the seller section :)

PM if interested :)
 
Will do thanks !ill be going over to the lfs tomorrow to grab some coral that's getting shipped in and I'll check into their mandarins as well
 
0 out of 7 mandarins would eat anything frozen in the store :(
 
Stay away from Mandarins or Dragonets for a 10 gal please. In general, a 75 gal tank is considered minimum to provide enough pods for them to eat and not starve. With lots of attention and money, you can keep one in a smaller tank, but should be avoided IMO.

Can you cover the tank?
 
I did some reading on them and agree I don't plan on buying pods constantly I can cover it I just don't have a lid bc I broke it under my bare foot when I was cleaning I was so mad at myself plus the glass didn't feel very good haha
