Breeding Mandarin Dragonets

[Cpark15]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any advice on breeding Mandarin Dragonets. I want to get a pair and cultivate my own copepods for their food. Would love to hear tips and tricks that other people have found as well as how much they food they needed to keep their fish and fry happy! Cheers to all!

Welcome to R2R! Best starting place would be the breeding forum. I'm sure there are a lot of stickies to help along the way. Having 2 mandarins will require a pretty good sized tank. I'd recommend around a 90 gallon or so. Allow it to mature for a while and get the pod population nice and stable. Once breeding begins the eggs will need to be transfered to a different tank...
