mandarins are such a nice colorful fish so most new people in the hobby want one...fact is they eat mostly live food and most die from starvation.


if you see a fish in the store you like google all you can before buying, will save you some bucks and stress in the end

good luck

I agree fully with this... I always have my iPhone out when I'm shopping. Even if you think you know all there is to know about a certain species it's good to look it up again just to be safe.

FYI barnacle bleenies have a fairly short life span so it's hard to say with them.
