Let's see your mandarins!!! I'm in love with my little girl and she is quickly becoming my favorite fish in my tank. Got her back in July as a pipsqueek and now she's a fat healthy mandarin...

First day...

Here’s my little girl! She hasn’t grown much, a psychedelic mandarin. She only been in the tank for about 3 months now and is very healthy and getting fatter and fatter!! She is fully on a copepod diet and it’s fairly easy to keep her even with culturing copepods for her in a 20g. Before you guys say 20g is too small, take a look at how tiny she is. When she gets old enough, I’ll upgrade, but for now, and probably for a lot longer (a couple years), she’ll be fine in here. You can see more of her on my Instagram anaks_reef! I really suggest getting on there and looking at other reefers pages, there are many of them with amazing tanks!!

And yes I do realize my birdsnest has STN and isn’t doing great. He’s been moved but I don’t think I will be able to save it. My stylo also has it but it’s regrowing and recovering ever since I switched to Fritz Blue Box RPM.
