Mandarin fish care

[mckinleyw]

Hey everyone, could I get some links to useful and informative info on mandarin fish. ive been stocking my tank with pods for a couple years trying to prepare for this wonderful fish addition. I believe I am about ready. ive read a lot about them already and just looking for some last minute info.

thanks in advance.

I've read in several books a mandarin dragnet is exceptionally hardy under the right conditions as long as it has lots of live rock and the appropriate conditions to feed. You should be good to go. Wishing you the best of luck ;)

Main thing you need is a never ending supply of pods. People tend to underestimate the insatiable appetites of these little fish. IMO; supplemental feeding is also very important: Baby brine shrimp, fish eggs, live blackworms are all things you can try.

hi,
here's a post i made on the QT process i did for my dragonet, i managed to get him eat frozen food pretty easily while in QT.

it feeds mostly on pods, but frozen is always a nice supplement.

Make a feeder for baby brine shrimp and keep your mandarins spawning
