Paddy your post mentions nothing about compatibility. You simply asked for advice on whether you should get one or not.

If you are adding a refuge and cultivating pods for your 70 gallon than food should not be an issue.

I would be concerned that a docile fish like the mandarin will become a victim to aggressive fish like the six line wrasse but I do not have both so can't help you with your decision.

Did my list of current fish throw you off? It seemed apparent to me that
I was asking about the other redidents.

My fuge is as old as the tank itself.

I simply want opinions on stock. I have done extensive reading on mandarins in the past six years and have been successful keeping them in small tanks.

I am no self proclaimed expert by any means, but I know one or two things.

The sixline is my main concern.

Thank you.
