Can i get a mandarin?
I have a 90 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. I have a little mini fuge going on in my sump. I have a bowl with a little bit of cheato and a couple of pieces of rubble rock. I have about 95 lbs. of live rock. For fish i have 3 green chromis, 2 tru perc clownfish, algae blenny, yellow watchman goby, purple firefish, flame angel, royal gramma and a foxface. Remember my fuge is just a little bowl but its still something. Would i be able to keep a mandarin without a problem or no?

Sure, no problems with compatibility however the dragonettes do require a lot of live food so make sure the tank is well established so that the fish does not deplete the food source.

Re: Can i get a mandarin?
These little buggers can be difficult to keep sometimes. As Reefland said, make sure you have lots of pods for these guys, for many die due to starvation. Good luck with yours.

Sometimes they will also readily accept frozen foods such as mysis shrimp.

Re: Can i get a mandarin?
Mandarin Gobys are kind of a wild card. I have heard of some accepting masago, and frozen mysis, etc., while others have starved after the copepods were depleted.
I have a Mandarin Goby in with my seahorses, and fortunately, he quite happily munches on the frozen mysis along with his tankmates. By the way, WELCOME TO REEFLAND! Shay |
