Not as pretty as all the Mandarins but here's my Scooter Blenny. He eats pellets which is a great bonus.

IMO, he is just as pretty!! I love the little blue spots on the face. I wanted to get some of these but wasn't sure if they would get along with the ruby reds.

New addition She eats something in reef frenzy...goes wild for it, but no idea what part of the mix she's going after so hard

Only 3 days and my Mandy is already eating NLS pellets ::

 

I think he caught on by watching the angel eat them.

Michael says hi! to all of you.

 

 

 

Trying to steal some frozen mysis from my mini maxi carpet nem:

 

 

(sorry for the poor pic color and quality!)

[JoeDigiorgio]

Oh boy.

 

Getting that itch.

[Acielot]

Oh boy.

 

Getting that itch.

Drink the kool aid. It's worth it.

 

I'm really surprised that my Mandy took to pellets so quickly. I didn't even have break out the bbs.

 

Training went:

Day 1: rest and acclimate

Day 2: blood worms and pellets. Neither accepted

Day 3: eating every pellet in front of him.

Day 4: eating pellets still!

I'm starting to crave another picturatus pair to go in my clownfish tank. I gotta get those two flashers out and send them to live at my friends house to make room.

I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my mandarin tank and would especially love some input from you guys who are also keeping dragonets. Please check out post #49 on my tank journal for the story and questions.
