PeeperKeeper Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've wanted a Mandarin for a long time, but while they aren't all that expensive, I never felt my tank had enough pods to support one, especiallly since I also have a 6 line. So I didn't want to get one and kill it. But the other day I was at the new Deep Blue Aquariums and they had two of the most beautiful HUGE male Mandarins. I asked if they happen to eat frozen food and he said yes, they do! Really? Can I see? Well, they were more interested in "talkin' smack" with each other through the glass than eating at the time, but he said they were normally piggies and they'd been there a couple of weeks. I decided to take a chance. Well, sure enough, the next morning after I put him in my quarantine tank, I offered some frozen mysis and he TOTALLY went after it! I'm so excited! I think Mandarins are the most beautiful of all fish! This guy is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Congrats!!! You might want to soak the mysid in selcon or similar. I am not sure mysid will be enough to keep a mandrin healthy forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
