They like pods! Over populate pods buddy!

........milli's hate me.

Nice addition and shot! Mandrains are low mantince as long as you have LOTS of pods.

Great shot! Good luck with it!

I got lots of pods...but I might haft to move the six line wrasse...he's turning out to be a bully to this little guy.

LOTS of pods,
LOTS of rock with hiding places,
And friendly tankmates that don't harass him... Or compete for food.

There's a fantastic article on mandarins in the Nov/Dec 2011 of Coral. If you have a smart phone, there's free Coral magazine app.

Pods and more pods. That six line and the mandarine are not gonna cut it, IMO. Six line will bully the little guy to death.

Six line will most likely out compete the mandarin for food. You're gonna need plenty of pods...and maybe get rid of the 6 line...
