Default Spotted Mandarin

After watching him wither away the past few weeks, I think its time for a new home. He eats very well (mysis) but with all my big fish, he barely gets any food. I try to spot feed him but he is way too slow. He needs to go to a home with other small less aggressive fish. No nano's please though. I just want a good home for him.

I can show you that he DOES eat but I warn you, he has gotten very skinny. Its going to take some time to get him fat again. He was doing very well eating in a corner but now the tangs have figured out where I spot feed him and just wait there

Not looking for money but a frag would be nice. I am looking for either sps or a hammer/frogspawn frag. Really nothing much and if you have a good home, I will probably just give him for free if you don't have much to trade

I feel so bad for him. He is healthy looking besides the lack of a belly.

If you are 100% sure that your mandarin is a male you should Pm seahorse fanatic. I gave him a small female that I had purchased from JL just to save it about 4 months ago. I kept her but I already had a male and female pair in my tank. So once she was fattened up on pods I gave her to Seahorse fanatic so she could live in his massive planted sump (SO NICE). So hopefully Seahorse can take him from you because your mandarin will have the best life ever in his sump.

Justin, why not try the mandarin diner trick? If you don't find a good place, I know someone who would love to take him *Waves hands*
