Great fish if you have prepared for it

Comments

Mandarins are gorgeous fish, but require a lot of preparation to care for them. They need lots of live food, and eat almost exclusively copepods and small amphipods. It's important to have a large tank (I wouldn't put one in a tank smaller than 55gal) full of live rock with a productive refugium. If you have a large enough tank and it's mature and stable, you should be able to enjoy the beauty that is a Mandarin Goby.

Liked about it	Beautiful Swims near the bottom of the tank, unlike most other fish
Didn't like	Can be difficult to get them eating if they are not fat and healthy when you buy them. Often will not accept frozen foods, which many people think they will when their tanks aren't mature enough yet for a Mandarin.
