I’ve been wanting to add a mandarin dragonet to my reef tank for a while now. I went thru the 76 fallow period to rid my tank of ich earlier in the year (nightmare I don’t want to go thru ever again!). I have a QT tank with copper (via cupramine) set up which all future DT resident applicants must 1st go thru. I am confused on how to handle this one, because the mandarins eat copepods, and its is my understanding that the copepods cannot live in Cu? If this is all true, i seem to be at an impass here. I know that it is possible the mandarin will eat brine or mysis shrimp if i get lucky... But Lucky is not a word i’d use to describe myself. So how do i get a mandarin into my tank and be sure he doesn’t bring disease with him without starving him to death? Please help!
