How old is your system? A mandarin is tricky to keep for the most part, requiring a mature system.

If she is getting skinny, perhaps there is too much competition for her.

Any chance you have a sand sifter in there? Or other pod eating fish like wrasse?

Looking at your build thread, I would guess you have not got nearly enough rock work to support a mandarin long term.

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.
