I might get a mandrin. What do they eat? What are their care requierments? Are they good with masked gobies, a pygmy angel and 2 common clowns? thanks

Mandarin gobies are very picky fish when it comes to eating. Don't even think of getting one unless you have tons of pods. A refugium is highly reccemended to keep up a supply of copepods. The mandarin usually eats only these and it's very rare that one can wean them onto prepared food. In not so well established aquarium, it will slowly starve to death.
