How did you manage to find a 6 year old thread?

There's a large thread on R-C in which someone contacted ORA. Ora said, as Ibanez mentioned earlier, that they will go after pods first but will eat pellets/frozen when the pod numbers dwindle. vid of them at ORA feeding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZEGI...layer_embedded Mine ate earlier-...

The whole idea of paying the premium for the ORA mandarins is that they already accept pellets and frozen. i have not read any success stories on the other large forum. I'm wondering if the long awaited mandarins are going to be a bust. Oceans, reefs, and aquariums. Aquaculture company out of...

Has anyones ORA mandarin accepted pellets? I've had mine for a week and it could care less about NLS small fish pellets as they float by. It is eating pods but they are in limited supply in this tank. I was relying on it to accept pellets and/or frozen.

Cut the top off of a plastic coke bottle where it starts to curve, invert the top back into bottle, place food in bottle, wait. LFS sell traps designed to catch inverts but i have found that hermits and snails tend to allow everything to escape when they enter

A fimby will eat the lunar wrasse and the eel. If you get the fimby wait until the 100 is up and running with much more rock(at least 100lbs imo). The eel will be more likely to jump if there is not enough rock work for it to feel secure. Piscivorous eels are always a risk to tankmates and...

What are the dimensions of the tank? I love the look of a corner tank but the footprint really limits the stock list.

Yes. Smaller tanks do not give the shrimp a chance to escape. It may work temporarily but the crab will catch and eat any shrimp. a large coral banded may work temporarily but it will be eaten once the crab is large enough. Arrow crabs get large and aggressive- mine has caught numerous...

in that size tank, the crab will definitely kill it.

Does it grow on the rocks too and how large/often are your water changes? My guess would be a nasty strain of cyano.

great looking tank! What is the song in the first video?

The three crabs mentioned are good as dead. The chances of it eating your fish are slim to none but a risk is still there. I had a 4-5 ft zebra for about a year, it never payed the slightest attention to the fish. Mine would only eat thawed shrimp or krill, using a feeder stick to make sure...

The lion will eat all of those fish except for the tangs(depending on their size). Remember that lions grow incredibly quick and a five inch lion could easily double in size in a year-. Lions are great hunters and will eventually catch any fish that is small enough to eat. A tessy needs a...
