I have the red mandarin or psyco, he's hard to feed and not taking well to brine- he was already malnurished and looking for good food source-

I 'had' a green mandarin, so beautiful!! Unfortunately my goby harassed him to death in one week...the poor thing, no matter where he was in the tank, the goby would rush him & puff himself out, to the point where the dragonet started hanging out at the top of the tank just to escape him...my LFS advised me to wait, said the goby would eventually stop terrorizing him, but alas, one week later I found the beautiful creature dead.....

they advised me unless you have a large(90gallons or more) and a plethara of LR a mandrin or psycho will starve to death. they eat the critters in the LR and dont eat store bought food. it's a shame because these are sweet fish!

i have a male mandarin dragonette and he is my favorite fish, when i first bought him everyone on these boards told me i would not be sucessful with him because my tank is smaller but he is doing good so far i have had him for about 4+ months and he eats ANYTHING i drop in the tank (live brine, frozen brine, frozen mysis shrimp, spiralina flakes, omega one flakes, pretty much anything) so good luck i love my green mandarin!

all of our mandarins look alike, what food does your mandarin like best? I burry brine shrimp and the sand and he eats those but he is really thin, I am thinking of ordering a amphipod kit and seeding in my 10 gallon? What do you guys think?
