Looks great Yote.I got a Mandarin about a week ago too.Nice fat one and eating mysis.Great that yours is eating frozen too.I see you have hitchhiker palys on your zoos.Are they actually neon yellow like in the pic.

***No,this is not me trying to keep up with you know who***

 

[yote]

Thats with just my actinics on.There more of a light green under the 10ks.

Palys in the Zoas,and a full rock of Palys next to em.I got both the Palys and Zoas from Donny right after the 55 cycled.

And congrats on the mandrine to.

[yote]

Just make sure you hold out for one that eat frozen foods.Or make sure you can grow enough pods to keep it fed.And trust me,for such a small fish,that can put some groceries away.

love the fish yote. that is the only other addition to my 80 that i really want. seems like i want all fish that have a bad rep for not eating hah. thats awesome that its eating frozen food! really beautiful fish

 

[yote]

Must be the bad rep part.Cause it seems that the fish i like too.

I'm going to try a flame angel in the next couple of weeks.Waiting till after the frag swap though.

 

[Alexander]

my flame got sucked into my aquaclear 50 today it scared the hell outta me . it was just laying there sucked sideways in the intake. i unplugged it immediately and she swam away, ate food right after that so im hoping she will be fine, didnt look any worse for wear

 

[yote]

I've seen Blue Regal Tangs do that at the LFS I help at.They'll actually swim up to the filter intake and let the suction hold em while they rest.

thats why i didnt buy it..cause i want a tank with a sump so i can provide good food supply for him...i bought a arrow crab also..hes doing great!!

 

[RigoSharon]

how much cost a frag of yellow zoas there?? are they cultivated??

 

[Bifferwine]

Yote finally got a mandarin! And that's a really nice zoa rock. I love it.

 

[yote]

Rigo,It all depends on how big the rock is and the color of zoas.I've seen em from 15 to 80 bucks.

Biff,Thats one of the rocks I got from Donny right after your first trip to Chatt Town.

 

[winyfrog]

beautiful mandarin, I'm going to put in a target mandarin in my 850.

love the zoas

I have always wanted a mandarin but never got one due to it's poor eating reputation. congrats enjoy hope all goes well with your new addition.

I fight those reputations, look at my 2 newest fish. they are eating like crazy! thats why i named my copperband "Lucky"

Yote will whip that goby into shape. Already eating frozen food is a wonderful sign. As i see it if i see them eat at the LFS i will roll the dice! and if it doesnt eat, yote will MAKE the mandarin eat off his special fishing fly and take care of that situation :mrgreen:

 

[jhnrb]

Congrats on the mandarin. they are very colorful and have great personalities.

 

[reeffreak]

Yote,don't answer Rigo,we all know what he's up too.
Rigo,your tank is to small for a Mandarin unless you find one thats eating frozen already.

 

[RigoSharon]

thats true..but im planning on setting up a bigger tank..but i know mandarins are hard to keep...tank must be matture enough to support him..but gosh are they pretty!!

 

[reeffreak]

Oh,okay,well good luck then.
