Mandarin dragonettes are not not cold water fish.

While I was away last week the heat in my building went off and my office went to freezing temperatures, a differential that the heaters in my 40 gallon system could not deal with. As a result, the mandarin that I trained to take frozen foods died

, and I am now planning (fearfully) to get another. I'll probably go with an ORA raised red mandarin and work on training it. Just venting!

I have 3 Mandy's and 2 scooters. All eat frozen. Some pellet too. Try nutramar prawn roe. All fish love it but dragonets eat it rt out of the bag.

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I just picked up an Ora Mandi yesterday (green spotted). Seen him going after live amphipods lastnight. Fish store was feeding him frozen food.
