I had the bi-color for about 8 months in my tank and so far he hasn't pick at anything, well except for a damsel that's been getting in his way... Goldfish World has a bunch in last weekend for $25, so if you're interested go check them out.

Thats coming along nice bro...word of advice tho....watch your fish population...your madarin might start to starve, does he eat frozen or flakes? if not he might lose in the battle of hunting pods to the other fish. a while back I got a mandarin to eat frozen brine, i did it by feeding my tank live baby brine then regular brine then frozen, he lived for a while, till i had to move the tank. The move was to stressfull for him, he didn't make it after that.
But yeah....Great looking tank. PCs rite?

(if you don't already know and are intrested in my advice...)

To keep a mandarin in that size tank, I suggest doing the following things if you haven't already,

1. Add piles of live rock rubble in the back of your tank
2. Add Refug that gravity feeds back into the tank
3. Feed Live brine from Aquatic, and slowly try to switch to frozen (something i haven't been able to do)
4. add as Much live rock as you can stand to fit in your tank..

I've had a pair going on, about 6-7 month mark in my 55. They've spawn on a nomral basis, and are very healthy. Other things I do are take macro out of my sump/fuge every other week and put it infront of a power head to blow as many pods as I can into the display.

Thanks for all the advices! :D I had the mandarin for about 10 months now and he's doing fine... just looking to upgrade to a hang on refugium...

I'm feeding the little fella by removing some of my LRs from my main tank & switching it back and forth to an algae holding tank that contain lots of pods, but it's kind of repetitive... he's also eating frozen brine shrimps after the first 6 months.

BTW I'm running 250 MH & 2 65 watts PC and I'm waiting to meet up with Fishman for more LRs...
