dmjordan, sweet pic!!!!!!! love pics

Mine looks just like dmjordans, but not near as photogenic. I took at least 50 pics to get one that you can tell what it is, but here it is anyway.

I wish the blue one was mine but it is not. The blue one was pictured in an article called Melev's Mandarin Diner. He has a DIY website and this came from one of his articles.

Why not one each??

I have a scooter and the blue/orange/green. But you need a large supply of pods to have 2.

I posted a pic of the mandrin earlier in the thread, it was pretty poor quality, he swims into the rocks when I go to take his pic. The scooter hasn't been in the front of the tank yet, just got him and he is so tiny and stays to far to get a decent pic, got a lousy cam thaats macro blurs. I will try to get one later today. I have 150 lbs LR, just picked up 20 lbs today, only had 13o before. I have a 25 gal fuge/sump. I still won't take chances though, I will keep suppling my tank with pods myself. I am hoping cause the scooter is young, i will get him to eat other foods also.

cool man...so how much lr do u have?

 

[puffer32]

I have 150 lbs, I added 20 more today.

 

[natep206]

yeah im getting like 45 more punds then ill have 100. i have around 56 right now. but the mandarin will be the last fish i add cause i want the pod colony to be as bug as possible when i do add it. ill also be adding live pods to my tank about a week before i get it.
still not sure im kind of leaning towards the spotted but i rlly do like the blue
what dose every one else think?

[puffer32]

The spotted is nice, but you can't beat the colors on this baby

 

[puffer32]

Spotted is nice, but just can't beat the colors on this baby

 

[puffer32]
