they are good. they clean the tank.

one mandarin eats thousands of copepods a day. and they will only eat certain sized ones. even people who have huge thriving tanks need to replenish them.

150g is the recommended size with 50g being the lowest people get away with. really this fish needs 100g+ year old tank full of pods and refugium. ora would be the way to go since you can suppliment their diet. there are much easier fish that are just as cool such as blennies and gobies.

in my experience, if you want to go fast, go slow.

you can also put food on the rocks so they have to scrape. clams on the half shell is good too.

its simple to get a mated pair. go to lfs. go to tank, see two clowns hanging out together. one a little larger than the other. the smaller one shivering next to the bigger one to show submission. that is a mated pair.
