yea ive been dyeing to get one myself but i only have a 30gal with about 40-50 pounds of lr. i dont think my tank could support one but it drives me crazy that when i go to my lfs they have a 18 gal set up next to the cash register and the same manderin has been in there for well over a year. think this might be one of those things that sometimes you get lucky, but i dont think its right to give the fish a 50/50 chance at a death sentence. its gotta suck to starve to death just my 2cents
just my 2cents

Psychedelics usually will take mysis shrimp and do well that way. Again as posted earlier ask to see them feed the manderin. If it is taking food willingly then go for it.

I found a very interesting article this morning about making a "feeding station" for mandarins out of a small jar.IE; olive type or similar.Mandarins are slow moving fish..often outcompeted for food by swifter fish,such as a sixline wrasse.I am going to try this..even though my mandarins look healthy,plump,and I have a refugium.I have noticed that my two skunk cleaners have figured out that if they hang by the inlet from the refugium at night,they can capture the bounty of "pods" that happen to come through.This feeding jar may just be what I need to sleep better at night,knowing my beautiful pair of mandarins are just a little bit fatter

No worries, it was just a bit too much of an advert for another site. I think it crossed a line as being a bit too little info, and a bit too much hype advertisement.
There is still a line that can be crossed in pasting from a product description from another site, even unintentionally. I know you've been around and have definitely contributed. I don't think there was any intention to do anything disrespectful, just turned out that way.

Conner, your replys are very thought-ful and intelligent! your decision will be the right one for you. It's kind of frustrating to determine the right answers with so many "absolute" responses! But that's why I stick around and absorb as much information as I can before making MY decisions! Some things work for some while others have an opposite experience.
Good luck I love my manderines
