Is it Cool to Have 2 Mandarin Goby's in Nano

I have a Mandarin Goby that is eating frozen brine shrimp. Is it cool to have 2 of these guys in the smaller Nano 28g systems????

Maybe if you can get both to eat frozen food and add a refugium to grow copepods to supplement in between meals. I have a 46 gallon bow with a 38 gallon refugium full of cheato algea and DSB with live rock. I have a red scooter and a 6-line wrasse in their and quite fat and happy. Good Luck! P.S.You can always add the copepods you buy at your LFS. Happy Reefing!!!:fish1:

Thank You Bill. Will copepods make your sand look like it has detritus or do they tend to hide around and in rocks???

copepods are very small- if you look closely you might be able to see them sitting on grains of sand, or maybe on the rocks. in tanks without predation you'll usually be able to see them on the glass. I doubt you'd be seeing very many in a 28g with two mandarins though, they'd most all be hiding for their lives.
