Red mandarin

[Imfortney]

I have a Mandarin from Live Aquaria. It's much fatter than when I got it. I have been feeding baby brine shrimp, "reef bugs," and cyclopez. She has ich. But she is a trooper, like iron maiden. Free to whomever is going to cure her of ich. She is a great fish but I do not have the ability to kill ich. I also have 2 tiger blennies that are going to have to go. They were raised from fry in my tank on BBS.

Oh yeah, she is in Key Largo, FL.

Hey for how long can you keep her? I will be going to the keys next week if you still have her I will be more then happy to take her.

How old is your tank? What do you have for a quarantine tank? I see this is the first post you've made on here...

Yeah I just recently became a member. I had a 55g tank for around 2 years. Bow I just recently moved everything to a 90g tank. I have on the tank a few fish and a few corals with lots of live rock I also have a 30g refugium with lots of algae and a good supply OK copepods and amphipods.

I'm not seeing any ICH on her :-/

 

[Imfortney]

Woooo okay I'm keeping her!

Well am at least glad she is healthy and you can keep her. I am still going up there can take you a leather finger frag if you want one and can meet me.

You keep saying up... I'm south of Miami. I can meet with you, but when are you coming? I work pretty much everyday. I am on a boat 8 hours a day. Want to send me a picture of what you mean? I'm not sure what it is.

 

[dairon52]

I should say going down to the keys, let me see if i can send you a pic if not just do a quick search it should pop-up.

Is that a type of mushroom?

 

[dairon52]

no it kinda looks like a Kenya tree.

Mandarins very rarely get ich. I don't see it on her either. :)

Well what could be possibly deteriorating her fins? I can't get a good picture of them. The only thing I have that I could imagine doing it would be some hermit crabs
