Small tailspot is awesome. Personable.

I have had a six line for about 3 years. He was in my 20 for two years with 2 clowns , firefish, sleeper goby, spotted mandarin (eating mysis).

Model fish. BUT you must add him last. Great personality. Hardy. But territorial, hence adding last. He was unhappy when I added a fairy wrasse to his current 70g home... And well, killed her.

Spotted mandarins have a higher survival rate than blues, greens or reds. More adaptable and can be trained onto frozen.

Mine lived over two years until I had a crash- I moved the tank and apparently upset the balance.

I do NOT recommend this as a beginner fish but do not be afraid. I have a mandarin thread. Follow it. I added two - mistake - but
One is thriving under the right conditions. Also, it is the only fish
In a dedicated mandarin environment.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
