Good luck if hes in a nano. Ive had mine for around 4 monthsish and i had to move him to my 45 gallon, he improved greatly.

really? how long before you started to see signs of him going downhill? there is plenty of stuff for him to eat on the liverock in my tank, and he will eat frozen brine, but i was thinking if he starts to look bad after a while im going to start feeding him live stuff. the only problem i really had was iwth my coral banded shrimp trying to kill him, but now they are peaceful to eachother.

oo thats a good idea. i was actually planning on getting a sponge soon. hes still eating the frozen brine and ive seen him go after the stuff on the liverock. hes going over to my girlfriends tank in a few months, along with all my coral and other fish, im moving and im just going to take the rock and get a fuzzy dwarf after i move.

It took a while for me to realise. He used to swim up towards the top of the tank alot asif there was nothing left to search in the rocks. to me this is a bad sign because mandarins usually always tend to search rocks for food.

OOOO for a while i noticed he would do that in the mornings, id turn the light on and 10 minutes later he would go swimming towards the top, then after a while swim back down, but lately he'll sit around on top of a coral or jump from rock to rock
