I have/had 3 mandarins. The first one (spotted) ate mysis and pellets and I owned him for about 2 years, I got him from another canreef member who had him for a year which he said he got off of someone else who owned him for awhile. The second one (spotted) I got is still alive and I've had her for 3 months. I bought another one (green/regular) for my other tank and she died after two weeks.

My first dragonette lived for around 4 years. I bought a mate which I believe was too aggressive and eventually she died from stress.

Alive. Last year it was in a 20g dedicated mandarin tank.

Recently shut that tank down and moved her into my 70 display.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Lost him a couple years ago, I estimate he was in my tank for about 8 years.

I just picked up "Mojo" my male Psychedelic Mandarin. He is chubby right now, so here is to hoping he stays that way.
