I will however be getting a captive bread Cherub for my frag tank. Watch someone give me detritus for putting a 1"-2.5" inch fish all alone in a 25x15x8 tank. While they have 15 8"-18" tangs, angels and wrasse in a 72" 180 gallon bumping into eachother and corals all day. Drrr I have a 180, i can do whatever i want... OK SeaWorld. Im ready for that debate so bring it on, the math is on my side.
I guess if you ask so nicely I will step up to give you “detritus” :
ORA, the breeder, recommends a 75gal for the cherubs. Don’t know what “math is on your side” but I’m going to say they probably know better than anyone in the thread on the subject. They also have a vested interest in making that number as small as possible, as it means they can sell more fish. Just something to consider.
Also the wrasse is probably going to out compete the mandarin for pods. Supplemental feeding frequently enough for the mandarin might be difficult given the filtration of an AIO. Not impossible but something to consider, how much effort Is that particular family worth to you.
