Then just decide which you want when you go see the new arrivals/ Have them drop some frozen food in the tank, and which ever if any eat , would be the one I would buy, no contest there

 

[natep206]

i know but if they only get in one species and i want the other that would suck
so i still want to see pictures of spotteds
thanks

i always wanted a psycodelic. Finaly let my tank mature and got enough lr and a large supplly of pods. went to the lfs, all they had were spotted. They were realy skinny and i felt bad not getting one and i did like them. so i got one. and now i couldnt be happier. I love the spotted so much now. I think you will be happy in whatever one you get lol

 

[jeremy888]

oh the psycodelic are so cool, wish i could find and/or support one

i went to the lfs today and got a awsome marbled sea star (that ill be posting pictures of later tonight) and they got in the mandarins. i really am thinking im going to get a spotted. but not sure. i still would still love to see pictures of all of them.
try to change my mind!
thanks

Cool starfish, nearly impossible to keep. The marbled sea star is in the genus Fromia (sp?). Fromia stars require a certain type of sponge to live, and a few other things, that home aquariums just can't sustain. Most die within the first month.

Good luck with it though, because my boss at my LFS has had one for 3 years! So, there is hope, just not much. I hope you didn't spend an arm and a leg on him. BTW, GET THE SPOTTED!

this probably will make things harder.. but oh well... check out the third option which i recently found:

BLUE Mandarin Dragonet ^_^

NateP206...sorry i can't really help...
But was just wondering for my own curiosity...how do you know when the pod population in your tank is enough to sustain a mandardin?? Is there a sign or something that you should look for??
Thank you!
