I have a Reefer 525XL that I have been running with live rocks and a separate sump in the basement for about 10 months. Been seeding lots of pods (Reef Nutrition, Aquarium Depot, Pod Your Reef, etc.) every time those vendors having their buy one get one free. I got 6 bottles last time Reef Nutrition had the sale. I have seen a lot of pods activities at night before I got me a mandarin about 6 weeks ago.
Here he is today. Do you think he is skinny? It is tough for me to tell except I know I can see the line between the top half and the bottom half of the fish. I have seen really plump pics of mandys where you don't see the dividing line. But is mine wasting away? I have seen it eating frozen mysis, but he is outcompeted by all the other fish in the tank (Blue Star, Potter's, Pintail, Melanaurus, Magma Wrasses, Copperband Butterfly, Diamond Goby, Whitetail Bristletooth Tang, Midas Blenny, and Bellus Angel). Also, most of the wrasses and the Copperband are actively eating pods as well.
Please let me know if you think this guy needs a feeding intervention. 6 more packages of pods are coming next week from Aquarium Depot's BOGO sale. Thanks.
