ugh minor set back. bumped up my CC and got a few larger hermits, these guys have been chowing down on my diner they really dont leave it alone! i just jacked it up on a few small rocks to where they might not get in, but this means i have no clue if she got to eat any. At least i know she ate...

we're still here going strong i finally got a good look at her belly today and i am happy to say there is no longer an indent she was never extremely skinny but i could see a clear indent in her stomach when i first got her!!!!! this has me doing the happy dance she eats from both the BBS feeder...

My little girl loves loves loves her BBS I used the feeder designed by Paul B it was simple to make and it tool no time for her to eat them all up. They are they only thing I think I know she's eating all of, with other foods she pecks here and there but BBS are her fav!

Well getting more fish isn't the worst thing to hear in this hobby!! So then what everyone's opinion if I added more fish should I get another mandarin or a different kind? I did lots of research about mandarins in tanks but never into their wild life. Do the girls live in groups with 1 dude or...

Maybe but she was this way in the holding tank when she could see my Damsel. Like when I would go to add food she would dart back and forth and practically smash into the walls to get away it always made me feel so bad. And I had rocks and stuff in with her to make her less stressed. But being...

I want to eventually just add her food to the feeders that way I'm containing it and can get a better feel as to how much is enough/too much. But she is so so skiddish that I was afraid she won't eat enough if I didn't put food out on the back rocks. I'll go ahead a stop that. I only have snails...

Thanks for nice suggestions guys! I'm not going to add anything soon but having an idea if I do is awesome. And what I was saying was I don't want a fish to eat not only her pod treats but any of her food sources at all. I have the BBS feeder and a jar in opposite ends of the tank so that's...

I do like the idea of having a male for her but I just want to focus on her for now i just want to make sure I can even keep her happy and healthy in the first place. She is the only fish in the tank as an attempt to reduce any stress or food comp. Once i get the hang of it i may do a male or...

Well my damsel is gone. His name was Digger and I fear I'll never have another fish with his spunk. But he's off to bigger and better places, I even gave them his favorite snacks so he will be happy and I get visitation rights lol. So it's just my mandarin, snails, hermits, and some mushrooms...

its all good i was enjoying the read! looks like the only one I have up right now is a little old but here he is. I feel like so many people hate them, where i really love my damsel, he has the most personality out of any fish i have ever encountered. if only i had a bigger tank for him...

I just picked up so mysis and cyclopeeze so I'll be trying them also. But when I put in her afternoon bunch of eggs she went straight to the bunch and stated eating she didn't even give them time to break up and float around. So I'm very happy about that.

Oh sorry seecrabrun just saw your question... No I haven't. he is a bluefin or black damsel depending on which source you read. He is 7 years old, and just much smarter than I gave him credit for. I have tried so so many ways to get him out. I tried the net he knows what that means and goes...

Wow Pegasus that is one handsome male! Thanks for the advice I do plan to go slow I'll keep her in there for as long as it takes she doesn't seem to mind I put some rocks in with her so she has a somewhat natural environment. My tank many not be as large as some people say they need but I have...

Thank you I have pretty much read every article about them that I could get my hands on. Im just really happy to have people who have them living and thriving to talk to and learn from. I didn’t even think about feeding her in the bag, but I do have her contained in a small floating mini tank I...

Oh sorry guys here I am making ya work for it lol. I have a 29 gallon biocube. I have a thread posted from when I first got it. But basically its been up and running for over 6 years. The past few it has been mine. I took out the crappy fake decorations and switched the crushed coral out for...

So its official I finally got my very first mandarin dragonet. I like so so many others wanted one the moment I laid my eyes on it well before I ever got my tank. But I had read all the very sad stories of them starving to death, so I never got one. But last year I started reading the few...
