![]() I was just wondering where in Calgary can I find live copepods to culture it in my tank.
P.S. I have many tiny tiny amphipod in my tank so I was thinking of adding copepod in the AC110 fuge and get a mandarine in it ![]() ![]() I just don't want any gobies in the tank since I have three maxi minis waiting for bottom dwellers ![]() ![]()

![]() Mandarins are gobies so to speak. Slow moving easy targets for sticky nems. IME they are hard to keep in small tanks I went through 2 scooter dragnets that ate frozen live and flake and still was unable to keep either alive for more then 7 months. This has been my experience though, and my tank is larger with nearly triple the total water volume of yours. Approach these lovely fish with extreme caution. Good luck.

![]() If this is a serious fish for you, being that your tank is small you will be best off culturing your own pods and feeding the tank on a regular basis to keep it well fed, also trying to coax it to eat pellets will be to your benefit.

If you are going to seed your tank monthly will most likely not keep up with the mandarins eating habits. Remember your other fish eat them too, though it is not their sole dietary need. I would be going weekly in a smaller tank, as they will get cleaned up faster then they will reproduce

Although I agree this hobby is about challenges and learning, its also about trying to be as environmentally responsible as possible. Put yourself in the Mandarines shoes, would you enjoy being put in an overly small tank with a lack of food and things that could kill you @ every turn? I think not... But alas I have a feeling this fish will be added to your tank regardless. |
