Ok, here are the new comers:
Meet Yo and Yo both are Yo-Yo team:
First, I used my acclimate XL and poured them in there with LFS water.
Applied three drops of Methylene blue and waited 45 minutes on this stage waiting for water to clear up.
After this, I re dosed another 3 drops of the stuff and waited another 45 mins.
Total Acclimatisation time was hour and a half.
DISCLAIMER:
All fish must go into QT, The Mandarins contain a thick mucus on their body which basically makes them immune to Cryptocrayon.
Though, if you plan getting this fish in your aquarium, it would be wise to first QT them at least a week or two to make them eat and increase their defensive system and reestablish the mucus.
I could do this as they are the only fish around, so all feeding made is for them.
On to the pics:
Feeding station is done and working like a charm!
Also, Copepod hotel is establish, inserted copepods and placed on the rear rocks of my DT, working like a charm too! you can see the little crits going out and in of it.
Lastly, all this food here is for the Mandarins only, the freaking food was much more expensive than the actual fish but who cares.
As of now I have seen them pick at the rocks, sand and in the air catching brine shrimp, artic pods and copepods, so feeding has commence.
BTW, as I got them coming in from the plane! not even in the LFS's tanks, we (LFS friend and I) were almost sure one was male and the other female, well, nooo, both are males and having a MACHO to MACHO contest right now.
