. You seem completely convinced it's ok. ! There is a big difference in a fish surviving in our tanks & thriving in our tanks, we capture these creatures from the wild so we HAVE to give them the BEST we can. Not just average. But if you believe it's possible then that's up to you, your not the first person to do. & you won't be the last. I wish you all the best of luck & the dragonet as well.
You did what you could, kudos to you. I'm at the point where I can tell when the lines of communication have closed, the minds are made up. Even your success as proof as to what these fish require doesn't seem to be enough.
Know it wasn't wasted on me I'll enjoy your Mandarin and get a Falco Hawk Fish instead
