So... I love Mandarins.

I am going to set up a tank for a mated pair. Either Blues or Reds. Most likely Blue Mandarins.

There will be no other tank inhabitants, asides from a few snails, that the pair will need to compete with.

The tank is either going to be a 20 G (that I already have in the basement running) or, if I can find one, a 30 TALL.

I plan to minimize corals (A few softies maybe) in this tank and go more macro algae and what not to give the PODs a haven for reproduction as well.


At this stage, I am looking for input as to what would be the IDEAL conditions for a Mandarin only tank. Keeping in mind my tank size is set due to the space it occupies.
