Hey, My tank is not yet mature in any means of the sense. However, i do have my sights on the future, and my biggest wish list fish is a Mandarin Dragonet. I love that psychedelic look. Anyway, I have enough sense not to purchase one et because i generally don't like watching pets starve to...

Here's some pictures of my mandarin. The skinny one is my male I recently added. The girl was skinny when I got her too, but a steady supply of blackworms has fattened her up. <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="http://imgur.com/a/MnKht/embed"></iframe>

HELP!! I just received a royal basket gramma yesterday as a gift. I already have a fire fish in the tank. I just noticed today that my gramma has ick!! There is nothing showing on my fire fish. The fire fish is eating normal (well he's a little fatty) and acting normal. I currently have a...

HELP!! I just received a royal basket gramma 2 days ago as a gift. I already have a fire fish in the tank. I just noticed today that my gramma has ick!! There is nothing showing on my fire fish. The fire fish is eating normal (well he's a little fatty) and acting normal. I currently have a...

I just got a purple queen anthias, I know these fish can be very hard to get eat, so here is a background, the fish has been at lfs for 4 to 5 weeks, has never been seen eating but is not skinny so may be eating some, but they weren't trying frozen. So I got this guy in hopes I can get him...

I just purchased a beautiful female green mandarin, I have a 125 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump with fuge with chaeto and live rock and roughly 125 lbs give or take in DT. Now my question is my tank has copepods amphipods and loads of munnid isopods in fuge. Mandarin is acclimating now so...

Hey guys! This is my newest addition to my 33gal mixed reef (mostly sps). He is still very young, only about an inch and a quarter long roughly... but looks like he is male from the slightly elongated dorsal spine, but isn't quite as long as it would normally be on an adult Male Spotted Mandarin...

Recently bought a mandarin dragonet was told by guy from Lfs that they needed a tank which had a lot of pods our tank is full of them but over the last few days of having him I have hardly seen any around... Has he wiped them out? What are other alternatives I could try? I read I should buy a...

Hi, Got a Mandarin Dragonet in my 90 gal tank. There´s enough Live Rock there (about 45 pounds or 20 kg.) and i have seen him nip and bite at the LR. I´ve also read it is good to get them used to "target feeding" with frozen foods, brine shrimp and pellets, so their diet is more diverse and...

Decided to pick up a Dragonet the other day. Usually it takes some time to get them in the habit of eating frozen food. 1st day started eating, I never have had one eat that quickly before. I'm thinking his prior home probably had a readily supply of frozen food, but very please none the less...

Hi Everyone, This is my first time to ask a question. I have a 29gal. all-glass reef aquarium with 30lbs of live rock, 40lbs of live sand, T5 lighting, aquaclear 50 and aquaclear 30 filters, and 2 powerheads. Fish contain (2) ocelaris, tail spot blenny, and a pair of Mandarin Dragonets...

Hi. So recently if you have followed my other threads i had 1 erectus die of malnutrition and stress mostly due to the LFS. The other is going back to the owner 2morow since it was stressed to and possibly that its mate died made it stressed even more so it stopped eating frozen food completely...

I have had a scooter blenny (dragonet) for over six months now. Since I can keep a scooter blenny can I keep a mandarin dragonet?

I am starting a 20-gallon mini reef with possibly a 10 gallon refugium. I would like to keep a Smith's Blenny (meiacanthus smithii), a Spotted Mandarin Dragonet (Synchiropus picturatus)-pellet weaned and captive raised, two Fire Dartfish (Nemateleotris magnifica) or a Sissortail Dartfish...

I have been cycling a 110 gallon FOWLR tank for a couple of weeks. My plan is to get a mandarin as my first fish since they're peaceful and for the most part I'm planning on getting semi-aggressive fish. I know not to put the mandarin in for a long time because they eat copepods religiously and...

Ok before everyone starts jumping down my throat I just wanna say I'm not intending to do this until I've fully researched this subject, and feel confident in my ability to provide for a mandarin goby. My question is how feasible would it be to keep a healthy happy mandarin goby in a 20 fowlr...
