Jason.... shut up. LOL.

Coming coming coming.

I want the tank to cycle for months before adding the Mandarins. Probably no fish in there until June.

Myka has me thinking about it as well. If I do not have the height for a breeder then it may just become a Mandarin/Seahorse/Pipefish tank. Slow movers.

I will do more research before adding anything.

That's a good idea. Although Seahorses prefer height to a tank. Why not try again to find a tall tank, and then you can breed Mandarins and Seahorses? Btw, getting Mandarins to breed is the easy part as it is quite common in mixed reef tanks. Collecting eggs and raising the fry is the bigger challenge.
