I'm trying really hard to act normal
In an issue of Tropical Fish Hobbiest, there was an article on keeping mandarins in nano tanks. The author has kept one in a ten gallon for a little over six months now. He has been able to get it to eat roe (fish eggs they use for sushi, I believe), and he occasionally seeds the tank with pods. He also says he has mini refugs in the tank (clumps of chaeto, and rubble piles) to help the pod population. He says, I think I remember this write, it's also eating cyclopeeze and mysis. I was just wanting to get some input on this setup for a mandarin. I've loved them from day one (and who doesn't, really), but never even considered them since they are suppose to have such large tanks so they would have plenty of pods. The author also says that it's key to get a healthy mandarin from the get-go, which makes sense.
