Might help if you didn't preach the advice. But Iam not someone who disregards information. I absorb it, and try things based on all that information. Ultimately if it goes wrong then that will be your right to say told you so.
Oh and the advice I was given at the top of this thread was go for it if you read it back.
Thank you.

No one is preaching advice, the question was asked, and answered, it just may not be the answer you were hoping for.

People aren't preaching for their health; YOU asked for information by starting this thread and people gave you what you asked for. This isn't about someone being more right than the other..fish are living creatures that are entitled to be as happy and healthy as possible.
You may have been told to "œgo for it" but that was before anyone knew how small your tank is.
I did read the thread.
A person said "go for it" without the least bit of information on this thread as to tank size. I immediately discarded that opinion.
Those who did ask for more information (and whose advice was based on experience), those are the ones you should have listened to. The only advice you "absorbed" was the advice that supported what you wanted to do.

Sometimes you just got to try, learn from the experience and move on.
I kept a mandarin in a 20 for six months until moving him to my 70 where he's been for 16 months now. He was the star of the tank along with a pair of Darwin clowns.
I made my own PODs, white worms, and fortified new hatch brine nauplii.
Since I only had him in a 20 for six months, I do not know if he would have continued to survive....my guess is....if you work hard enough...it is possible
While I always appreciate the guidance from the experts and profit from their experiences, I have seen hobbists do things they were told impossible.
As long as he's pecking, he's eating.....space is about self sufficient food sources, mandarin Copepods can be easily kept and fed to a tank where theirs a hobbist that wished to do so.
Never say never��

Of course there's always going to be exceptions, but he's the one who came here looking for advice. What did he expect to hear?
Mandarins die because of a lack of food.
Where I am from, live bottles of Copepods are easily available for about 20 bucks.
After two years, I am still not sure why people say these fish are hard to keep.
20 years ago yup, today, nope.
He got his advice, and wants to try...I will help him but their are more experienced people on this site.
