Can you put a mandarin in a 14g?

[MBVette]

Currently my 14g BC is empty after the cat ate te clowns. It is swarming with pods right now, the are all over the sand bed and the walls. Could a mandarin survive long term in there?

[dakotasreef]

You could if you plan to supplement its diet. You would quickly run out of pods otherwise. Unless you get lucky and he eats prepared foods.

[MBVette]

What else would it eat besides the pods?

[dakotasreef]

I got lucky with mine. Randomly he will eat pellets, but tears up cyclopeze and frozen brine. I know people have trained them to eat pellets. I have never tried and trained any, I am sure there has to be someone on Wamas who has. If not, try and google it.

i wouldnt do it. pod population couldnt keep up with there diet.

[MBVette]

That's kinda what I figured, but decided to ask anyway.

just from experience I wouldn't do it... even if you get one to get cyopleeze (sp?) or something you would feed that small system so much you will develop other issues...
