Mandarin goby

[Rockfish]

Rockfish-very nice. When did you get yours? I had read on some other forums that results were still a bit mixed, but that was from the initial offering.

got mine from a crazy place in NYC NY called Manhattan Reefs

here's there site Unique Corals :: Exotic Live Coral & Fish For Saltwater Aquariums :: Unique Corals

 

[Reef Breeders]

Heard of them, are their prices any good?

Oh, I didn't mean where, I meant WHEN. :) They were first released in Jun 10 or there abouts. Just wondering if you got yours then or in a later batch. The first batch had mixed results from people that purchased and wanted to see if there was more progress in consistency of the newer ones eating better.

thanks!

I got mine this past January. He eats like a MONSTER!!

Perfect!! That fish is definately at the top of my list so I am really encouraged to hear that. I think that is the route I am going to go. I know that ORA has blues too, but haven't heard that much about them, always seems like the targets. It is ok, I am gradually starting to like the targets better anyhow.

Thanks for the 411!

True, I know what you mean, lol

 

[Reef Breeders]

Hes been eating pods and no flake the past couple of weeks, so Im assuming that my pod population is still pretty good. I see him pop out every couple of hours yo grab a pod, but his shyness hasnt gone away.

 

[Tabasco1]

Thanks for the update! Is he still looking pretty fat? Glad it is working out.

 

[Reef Breeders]

Yes, he is actually healtgier than when I bought him. He pops out from the rock every now and then. I can now see tons of pods in my sump, so I have a good supply.

Lucky you, after seeing mandarins out for this last decade the result of something buying one usually isn't a good one. I'm glad to hear more and more people having success with these beautiful creatures.

LOL Tabasco - I promise the Targets will grow on you. I had always prefered the blues but the one i had was an awesome target. The colors were amazing!! Good luck when you take the leap!!
