![]() Mandarins have a couple of requirements one of which are pods. You cannot depend thant they will turn to dead food for
A larger tank is also needed so they do not devour them quickly and than starve. Lastly they require a mature tank that has been going for 6 months and up.\ I would recommend your setting up a small 10 gallon tank with some sand and fresh rock which is likely to have pods in them. Than feed phytoplankton heavily After heavy feeding and a couple of months transfer everything to main tank to jump start pod production in the main tank. You can than use the 10 gallon as a QT. Tiggers IME are a waste of money. Thanks for asking before you bought the mandarins |

![]() If I set up a 10gal what would I need in it? Rock sand owerhead? What kind if lighting would I need? Also would I need a filter? I'm going to my lfs on Sunday to pick up my new tangs . Last time I was in my lfs the had a lil 10 gal package for 50 bucks so maybe I'll pick that up.
Cheers Ray

You may find a cheap 10 gallon combo that does the trick If you see at night a rock in your main tank that has pods on it you can transfer that too. |

![]() That sounds easy enough! I'm tearing down my tank tommorow morning to catch a couple of tangs and I have a ton of extra rock in my sump! So this should be a peice of cake! How much sand should I use? Make a sand bed or just enough to seed the tank?
Cheers Ray

When you are at the LFS if they have a fresh live rock with an abundance of life on it, buy it and put it in your 10gallon as well. |
