Hi all, I have a 220g reef tank set up,maybe 150# live rock, running well last couple years. Ive started small tanks to culture phytoplankton and pods to be able to continuously feed and increase tank pod population. Id love to put 1 or more Mandarins in the tank, but wondering how many I can...

As the title asks, whats the best type of pods to buy for a mandarin goby. He has been in the tank for about a week. He eats all day and night, and has put on some weight since ive had him. Id like to keep my good luck going and buy some pods this weekend. Whats types, not necessarily brands...

I am new to the salt water community and was curious about setting up a refugium. I have a 36 gallon bow tank with only two clowns and I eventually want to add a mandarin goby (5-6 mnths). Now from what I understand they like to eat copepods. So if i setup a 20 gallon refugium with copepods and...

I have some questions about copepods. 1. Should I make a 20 gal refugium to house them so they can expand and feed my tank fish considering my fish will be: Dwarf Flame Angel Clowns Pistol Shrimp Diamond Goby or Mandarin Goby Blue Damsel 2. How many copepods should I buy to have a steady...

So I have a EXTREMELY weird question, I moved a spotted mandarin goby to a bigger tank that has less pods, almost none. The tank it was in before with covered in Copepoda and amphipods so I was worried he would starve. I made sure he was eating for the first week and was happy to see he ate...

Will Lenny survive in my new 6 gallon tank? (First fish ever owned) She lives with a star fish and five small hermit crabs. The tank holds ten pounds of live rock and has a live sand substrate. I currently do 20% water changes every other day to keep nitrates tolerable. She spends her days...

So after getting my coral issue back in line ( calc alk problem) I've been watching my tank to get copes going, I was about to buy a batch of 2000 for the refuge and main tank ( 75g tank 33 long refuge) when I noticed a couple on the rocks. So I've been keeping track of them for about a month...

I have a friend that has had one eating frozen food for three years byt everywhere online says they only eat copepods, so whats up? Can i have advice plz?

I bought a Mandarin goby about a week ago, he's hanging out in the QT tank right now and I have been adding pod, live brine shrimp and pellets in there nightly, but he doesn't seem to notice them. He has been hiding behind one of the rocks since I got him. What do I do? Should I be concerned...

So I fed this morning, today was some brine shrimp with a little bit of flakes mixed in there, so I was watching them eating just making sure that they're still doing good ya know and I see "Ricardo" "my daughter named the mandarin" come out and check out the food and just starts going to town...

I have a scooter blenny and a spotted mandarin goby in my tank and ive just added a green mandarin goby to the mix. Since adding him the spotted mandarin seems to have his radar up and i was curious if they would have issus? It any general description of these dragonettes it says they dont...
