    2 clownfish with a pair of mandarin fish in a 30 gallon

    Can I keep two black storm ocellaris clownfish with 2 mandarin fish? My tank will be 30 Galllons and the mandarin fish I’m buying are trained to eat pellet/frozen food already. I haven’t yet setup a tank and any advice as to what I would need in there and what to avoid would be great , thanks

    Favorite Dragonet Variety?

    Hello, I'm looking to get a mandarin fish as my last fish when my tank is completely established and filled with copepods in the refugium. I'm interested to see which type of mandarin are your favorites. The dragonets I've included in the poll are all from Liveaquaria.
