Hi,
As for the Mandarin, please check out
this thread from another hobbyist board. And the followup to it.
And some others:

You'll find many threads of this nature that advise against a Mandarin, especially before the tank is well-established at about a year.
From what I've heard of J&L they would likely steer you away from one as well.
