xXReeferXx Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/148998-the-most-expensive-fish-evermandarin-dragonette/I believe this is a very good forum for those who don't train their mandarins and want a big enough population if pods for it 600$in two months just to start and I mean START establishing a pod population that can withstand one mandarin Link to comment

LikeButtuh Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I think if you are using copepods to supplement the mandarin, I would ditch the sand-sifting star.They eat the benthic micro fauna which the mandarin (of course you know) feeds upon. Also since copepods and etc. are beneficial in your system, feeding on film alga's and detritus. Hope you take it into consideration. Looks good though! Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm not supplementing I'm just making sure that the manderin has a mixed diet He eats frozen brine too Thanks for you're advice Link to comment
