Madarin advice, please!
I have had mandarins in the past and I LOVE them. I currently have a 180 gallon reef tank. I want to add one (possibly a mated pair) of mandarins to my reef. Does anyone have experience with the captive bred mandarins vs the wild. If they actually eat frozen food that could supplement the pods I will supply. Also any experience on the green spotted mandarins hardiness versus the blue or red mandarins hardiness? I had a mandarin for years in my 50 gallon reef and when I upgraded to a 180 he didn't make it. I fear the other fish outcompeted him for food. Trying in my 180 again and want to ensure success! I will target feed also... but that has been hard b/c my blue tang is such a pig.
thanks!!
