Hello,
I have a 27 gallons nano reef with approximately 25 pounds of liverock. I would really like to buy a green mandarin fish, but I know this is not recommended for a tank under 75-100 gallons... only if we don't respect some conditions.
I would buy a mandarin that already eats frozen food (I will ask the guy in the petshop to feed him) and I'm going to make a copepod culture in a 10 gallons tank.
Do you think that a mandarin eating frozen food would be happy in my tank considering that I would add a lot of copepods to my tank daily or weekly? I would propably feed him with frozen mysis and brine shrimp twice a day and he will eat in addition the copepods on my live rock.
But you can be sure that if you say this setup would not be fine for keeping a happy mandarin, I will not buy him. I'm not a killer biggrin.gif
Thank you in advance for your help
ps: sorry if my english is not excellent, I speak french tongue.gif
