I had a mandarin living in my 20 gallon for 2.5 years.
It eventually took frozen so was good for me.... and I never ran any type of fuge.
On a side note.... let the tank mature for 6 months minimum to allow a build up of your pod population and avoid adding anything else that may feed on pods. Pod eaters are common in tanks... such as sand sifters, so choose fish wisely.
