Mandarin dragonet tank size

[2quills]

I didn't realize they ever left. Seems like they only continue to grow more in popularity every day from what I see in my travels around the net. It does seem as though they grow tons of pods as they act as a veritable safe breeding ground with all of nutrient rich food that they can eat. Perhaps that could be an option. Or a small tank set up strictly for breeding purposes... http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/2/breeder...

The few, the proud, the ATS users.
... lol Of course I had to throw it in there. From the first hand experience I have with them - I can personally say they absolutely work.

Hi folks, make it four who would like to know about what ORA feeds their breeding mandarins. I did see a picture of a school of baby spotted dragonets diving in on a meal of Nutramar Ova but maybe I can find out what the parents eat. I am in no hurry to set up a tank, I want to study EVERYTHING to see if it would be feasible to set up a mandarin system. I am a great "tinkerer" and love a challenging project, but I also like to plan things carefully. Thank you all for your advice!!
