I don't see why not, so long as there is a supply of pods

Actually, I agree with you, Eric. I just think it's a bit ironic since I've always seen people get ostracized on here for having a dragonet in anything smaller than a 65.

There is only 2 ways to have a mandarin work in a 10 gallon. 1 is make a fuge for the copepods to breed in or 2 get him used to eating food which is highly unlikely. Or you can spend tons of money and buy copepod bottles 2 times a week.

I weaned mine to take brine shrimp from a turkey baster. All i do is "inject" his food into the sand to make it look like its moving, he comes out and eats with no problems. I add about 2 bottles of copepods a month just to change it up a little. Mine is in a 24g nano but started in a 12g.
