Hi Moray Guy, Mandarin fish are difficult fish to keep in captivity in some cases. A mature aquarium with lots of liverocks, livesand, and copepods makes a better chance of survival. They like to roam around the bottom, picking at the liverocks endlessly in search of critters. I consider this is one of the challenging fish to keep, and I highly respect those aquarist who dedicate their time, patience and skill in providing a good environment for them. I agree with the rest of my fellow aquarist, it is not fine, you have been misinformed. Best of luck. Regards Ken l
