Hey Shao, sorry to hear about your loss.

My Mandarin now probably holds the title of "fattest Mandarin you're ever seen".

I had a scare with mine a couple weeks ago after introducing a new resident, a Christmas Wrasse. The Wrasse didn't care much for a food competitor, even in a 100g tank, and took to terrorizing and ripping to shreds just about every fin on my poor docile Mandarin.

I finally had to separate the two as the Wrasse wouldn't ease up even after three days, and the poor Mandarin had "shell shock" by this point. Now the Mandarin is living peacefully in my 10g refugium, which isn't ideal, but I don't think she minds the solitude, and certainly has plenty to eat. In just two weeks all of her fins are fully regrown, and she looks great.

Anyways, hope you find a new fat one in the future, and again my condolences.
