Mandarin - To add or not to add?

[fishytime]

Well maybe if people would be more responsible and think about the fishes needs and not their own needs, there wouldn't be a need for tang police.... Some people actually care about the fact the we have a responsibility to the creatures that we choose to care for..... So when someone basically gives the middle finger to the entire reefing community, saying their 4' 70g tank is perfect for a fish that is widly known to NEED more space its somewhat irritating..... Know what I mean?

By perfect , I mean I don't feel the need to Impress everyone with fancy gadgets and high end accessories. Perfect tank. I would not trade it for anyones tank. I will not upgrade because some people think I should.

Bank roll your own systems. Mine is perfect. Does this make perfect clear now?


Now my thread here is about fish compatibility. Is this clear?

Tired of high jackers. No respect.

Sorry to hear that, your yellow will eventually outgrow the 70g hopefully when that happens you will re-home it.

Find a mandarin that eats frozen (that you can make sure you get the frozen food to it, before the others eat it) and you should be ok.

You are off topic and frankly ****ing me off.

Don't put a tang in a situation were people feel the need to say something and you wont have to worry about it. When people see an injustice being done, people will feel the need to speak out about it.

Also for the record in the bold part (in case you didn't see it before) of my original post I did answer your question, so not off topic.

Six lines can be very aggressive. Thats a fact I have seen and read about. I know of people who have taken tanks apart to remove them. {part of why I said be careful if adding one for flatworms}.

They compete for the same food as mandarins, thus always the possibility of eliminating the mandarin, so less competition for that food source. Such as picking their eyeballs out.

Agreed. But I still feel that I can support the pod population.

Who knows.

Mines favorite is Formula One Marine Pellets. They collect in one end from the current and she knew exactly where.

Or did, before we took her to Mikes 240g where she is now cuddled up to her boyfriend.
