My New Mandarin Goby!

[Phil D.]

My Goby, General Iro (he's my avatar pic!!) is doing geat in my E-260. My LFS trains them to eat frozen and I have had him for 2 years now. I only occasionally add pods, but he's very healthy and a joy to watch puttering around the tank.

the fish would be fighting over food resources, do you have 1 mandarin yet? how long have you had it? how big is tank? one healthy fat mandarin in your tank for 3+ months is a sign the tank could support another

I posted a pic of it on here already lol I’ve had it since September

When he gets a little I just throw a bunch of pods in from my refugium and then reseed the fuge and DT. Ain’t nothin to it but to do it

They are beautiful fish for sure. Males are much more likely strutting around and display, all day long. Mine display right at the front of my tank.
My male pictured below is a bout 2 years in my tank. He was tiny and thin, only about 1.5 inches 2 years ago. Now he is about 2.5 inches and really fat.

My male rarely has his mast up. If all flow is off in my tank he will be out more and have the mast up.
