thanks, i have a mandarin in another tank eating frozen food as well as the bangiisI personally would not buy the bangii due to the viral issue with them. Anthias - I would suggest a large number - as compared to a small number - due to the fact that like discus - they tend to go after the weakest until the strongest remains. Everyone is going to say yellow tang is to big - I think its fine. Kole as well. Mandarin - need to make absolutely sure its eating - before you buy.
Would it be okay to buy some bangii from biota or ora? I lost some probably from the virus a year ago and I want to get some again.I personally would not buy the bangii due to the viral issue with them.

Everything on that list is fine, I would get the mandarin eating frozen asap though, and u gotta wait a few months before adding the mandarin so the pods build upThaughts?

I would think its ok to try - I do not know whether/how long that virus sticks around @JayhemdalWould it be okay to buy some bangii from biota or ora? I lost some probably from the virus a year ago and I want to get some again.

Looks good! Might have some fighting with the cardnial as they pair up in male/female pairs but otherwise looks good! That jawfish I have read and heard is a cold water fish and doesnt do well in standard reef temp long term so maybe sub that jawfish for another kind?Thaughts?

Can it come from captive bred places like biota and ora though?Sorry - I don't know how long that virus can persist without a host. I have heard that other fish, like batfish, can catch the virus, but not die from it. Can they then act as carriers? Again, I don't know......

Thats also what Ive heard as well and I still added pods when I had themMandarins need a very stable environment. Personally, I'm gonna wait about 6 months to a year before pulling the trigger on that one. Not sure what the 'rule' is now, but back in the day, it was to wait a solid year.
Yeah.....ya just can't take chances with these little beasties!!!!Thats also what Ive heard as well and I still added pods when I had them
