I was finally able to get a few fairly sharp photos of Mando, my baby @Biota_Marine blue mandarin! He's growing like crazy since I got him in August. Last photo is a bonus pick of my other @Biota_Marine baby, Jeff Goldblum <3
AHHHHHH!!!!! This is awesome!
Please let me share on our socials. You can be a Biota human model! - Felicia
Yup, and if you had any others in the tank it usually signals them to spawn as well
I believe they're both just different strains of Mespilia globulus so they should be able to reproduce together. They typically spawn with slight chemical changes, moon cycles, or temperature changes but you don't really know if you have a male or female until they start spawning. The females spawning look pretty similar to males except that gametes are slightly larger looking.
Typically in reef tanks you won't get fertilized gametes because everything eats it or they get taken up by filtration but many people spawn them in a seperate container to collect and combine for a higher success rate.
Amazing looking fish and your photos came out perfect.
