So I have always been careful when selecting fish....but hubby and I both have always wanted a Mandarin.
I never thought my old 65g would be good enough to maintain a pod population for one. Everything I've ever read has minimum tank size, etc to maintain for a Mandarin, but there is never an actual number or anything on how many pods should be in a tank.
The other night after all the lights were off in the room, with a flashlight I tried looking in my 125g reef tank to see if I could find where my new Wrasse was bedding down. To my suprise, my WHOLE TANK has so many pods, it almost looked like a massive roach infestation!! When I would shine the flashlight on them, they would scurry around like roaches. It was hilarious, but I can't believe how many pods I have!! There are always a bunch in the refugium part of my sump as well!
Please tell me I have enough to maintain just one Mandarin?????
