My Green mandarin

Sorry to hear about that.
But you're right, it got to enjoy your tank for 5 years, that's nothing to scoff at! It wasn't simply wasting away.

As for not fighting, I think most fish leave mandarins alone, because of their slime coat, and the colors I believe are to warn potential predators.

Sad to hear, but at least it did get a decent lifespan and a habitat full of live foods while it was alive.

Those losses are hard to swallow. Sorry.
