mandarin

I have two Biota captive-bred Mandarins, but recently learned they were both males unfortunately (Algae Barn messed up). I've had him over a year but he's starting to get aggressive towards the other male so I need to sell him even though it really bums me out. He's big and fat - he eats...

Hey guys! I currently have 2 clownfish and a golden sailfin blenny in my 32 Gallon cube. I am looking for my last fish to stock it with. I really love the mandarins. I think they're one of the most stunning fish in the reefing hobby. Do you guys think it'll be fine in my 32-gallon cube? And...

SO today I got a mandarin in my nuvo 20 gallon tank and added some copepods from the trigger pods brand I was just wondering how long will it be till i have to add another batch as I am worried my boy will starve. He is doing fine and he has eaten a couple off the wall already , also if you have...

Hey guys, posting in relation to my 2.5 month old 55 gallon reef tank. Just to give an idea of stability regarding water params, the tank is faring well, and so far Heliofungia and some other sensitive LPS corals are doing well, signifying to me a constant, stable ecosystem.. My fish seem quite...

Target mandarin

Hello Reefers! I want to start documenting my captive bred Green Mandarin Dragonet from Algae Barn. Her name is Moose :) I was shocked by her size when she was delivered (0.75 inches). So far she is extremely active (always looking for pods) and is eating frozen brine shrimp. I will be...

Not sure if this is right spot to post but I have a 32 gallon biocube with 2 clown fish a long with some coral and inverts and I recently purchased a mandarin last Wednesday along with a bag of copepods came home today to a hermit crab eating my goby... did he die from something else and the...

Background: So I bought a captive bred red mandarin dragonet from my LFS for about $300. I bought her a year ago, when captive bred mandarins were a thing. She was very small when I got her, now she's about two inches. She occasionally eats pellets. Sometimes she would gobble them up, sometimes...

Hello everyone, how is it going? I’ve been thinking about adding some new fish to my tank and was thinking about the Mandarin Goby, I know it’s a hard fish to keep and eats almost exclusively copapods, but I was wondering if I could make it. I currently have a Fish Only 20 Gallon tank, and plan...

I have a 90 gallon tank with a mature tank full of live rock packed with corraline algae. Very healthy parameters and has been going great. My tank has the following inhabitants which have all been in the tank 9-12 months and have been very very healthy. Two frostbite clownfish Hawaiian...

I was curious of any creative methods to target feed a Mandarin dragonet in a mature 90-gallon tank with six other fish that have relatively aggressive eating habits. I have two frostbite clownfish, one yellow tang, Hawaiian bristletooth tang, yellow watchman goby and a rainbow fairy wrasse. I...

So I plan to breed Red Mandarins, but I couldn't find much info online. I have a list of questions I want to ask. 1. How can I get a pair? Do I need to buy multiple and pair them off? Or can I just buy a male and a female? I know the male has to be bigger though. 2. Is there anything I have to...

I have been preparing a while now for a mandarin; tank is about 50 gallons, almost 4 years old. Seeding it with extra pods and have set up external pod breeding containers for continuously adding more pods to the tank. Will also build a mandarin feeder with live baby brine shrimp. I will also...

Hey guys. Have a green mandarin Dragonet that I'm wanting to make sure is doing ok. Had him about 2 months. Acts and eats normally. Haven't been able to get him to eat anything other than copepods, which are plentiful in my tank. This morning though, I turned on the lights and his underbody was...

Hey guys. Added this guy about a week ago. Had my 55 gal tank populized with copepods approx 2 months ago. He has plenty to eat and he swims around eating all the time. Usually in the shadier parts of the tank. No symptoms of anything wrong or if illness. Didn't QT due to it being a Dragonet and...

Once a week I feed my corals frozen Mysis. Today (for the first time), I noticed my Mandarin happily eating it as well. He is the only fish in my nano reef and he gets live reef stew every Friday (as do the corals obviously), so it's great to see him also eat the frozen mysis, Anyone that know...

As I've heard that it isn't recommended to quarantine a Mandarin, I was wondering what reputable source i could obtain one from. Is Liveaquaria actually a good source? I've never actually bought a fish from them so i have no idea myself, so I was wondering what other people thought.

I ordered a mandarin goby fish that will be in this Friday. I was doing some reading and I have discovered that they have a quite complicated diet. Apparently they're very pickey fish and will only eat certain things on certain diets. Please let me know what and how you feed your mandarin gobys...
