Do you have a Mandarin?

I have a mated pair and love them

[doch]

I have a pair in my 160 display with 90 gallons of sump/frag tank/water change tank water. My pods breed mostly in my frag/water change tanks and there are lots all over... when I saw them is when I decided to get one.... he was doing great, so I got a female that I was told is eating frozen foods. She was pretty skinny when I got her home... I've yet to have noticed her eating frozen or pellet, but she is getting plumper by the day. Same for the male... I think he only eats pods, but he's nice and plump and happy. I also have a Melanarus Wrasse... and a mystery, mckoskers and solarensis... not sure if the last 3 are pod eaters or not.

Survival of the fittest. Pods are low on the food chain. I bet most fish would eat them when found.

I have a breeding pair for over 2 years. They eat live pods and frozen brine/mysid/plankton. They live in a 210 gallon reef. Almost every night they spiral up to the top of the tank spinning real close together releasing sperm/eggs its pretty cool!

Thats great! I hope to someday set up a breeding tank for a pair.

I wanted to earlier this year... but time does not allow me to. I also don't have time to set up a third tank for the fry.

Any videos of the dancing duo?

I have 2 breeding pairs. One in my 90g the other in a 7g. Both pairs eat frozen foods and pellets

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Yes, I have one in my 60g cube and another in my RSM130. Both were bought from Fantasy Aquatics on Kingsway and Slocan and had been in the store for over 2 months. They eat frzn foods and probably some NLS pellets if they find them. They live mostly with clowns and fairy/flasher wrasses.
