VKernus August 22, 2015 Share August 22, 2015 Just picked up my mated pair of spotted mandarins from ERC. They are beautiful fish! After a period of acclimation, I introduced them to the tank and they almost immediately started eating. After a short period of exploration, they found one another and seem to be quite a happy couple. Can't thank ERC enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 Feed feed feed! I've not personally had success with one mandarin in a tank that is under a year old. Look into Paul B style feeders, as that seems to be the best solution for constant feeding and long term success that I have read about. Marcos does great work with the QT and getting fish onto frozen, but mandarins eat more than you can feed, unless you can feed all day long! Wishing you success!

monkiboy September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 rob is taking care of the tank and was consulted for the go-ahead as I like to ensure all my client's are set up for success whenever possible. you're right in that I always recommend their natural diet of pods should be made available to these guys all day long. most folks especially with these species are enjoying our monthly (or however frequent they feel necessary) deliveries of cultured tisbe and tigriopus pods (and the phyto to keep them fed well too). helps with "newer" tanks and/or folks who just want to keep up with their population.

I knew you'd have your bases covered! Glad to hear you guys are delivering pods also! What don't you dabble in!

VKernus September 11, 2015 Author Share September 11, 2015 Plenty of pods in the tank and the fuge. I also supplement. They are actively feeding, fat, dumb and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
