Would a mandarin goby and a leopard wrasse both have enoug to eat in a 65 with a 20 gallon refugium, and 90lbs of live rock?
Thanks
 
Hi

A leopard wrasse does eat other food than pods, a mandarin does not. You will have to feed a lot, to keep the wrasse fat and happy. I personally would not keep a single mandarin, if you have ever seen the mating dance in the blue light just before the lights go off completely you would never attempt to hold them as singles. I will have to break down my tank later this year and leave the country, otherwise there would be a pair in my tank.

If you don't have a leopard wrasse already, get a pair of mandarins. They are easy to sex. The male has an elongated first spine in the dorsal fin, the female does not.

Best wishes

Jens
