I will have a full tank shot up soon sorry. The flame scallop moves to a place he likes and pretty much stays there. He had to move because of the anenome but he found a new spot and has been there since. I havent noticed any destruction from him. He kicks up some sand but thats about it. I dont even feed him anything directly, pretty sure he is just a filter feeder. I have had him for about 3-4 months now and he seems happy. Thanks for the comments guys!

A 29g Tank will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES sustain a large Pod population without one of those $20.00 bottle almost 3 times a week. Otherwise it is an awsome tank!

are you serious? 3 times a week? If you have no rock or hiding areas for the posd, maybe, and you have 3 mandarins. The trick is to hide rock rubble
[hr]
and other various things throughout the tank that the mandarin can't get to, pour the kagillion pound bottle into the rock rubble and (in my case pvc) and they can breed there. Its not perfect and if they only eat pods it will NOT work, but that was a bit of an exageration.... DISCLAIMER: Noone should try this unless they are experienced and have the time and desire needed to take care of a dragonet in a small tank.
p.s. Mine also stays alive via mysis shrimp... it loves it.

How long has this proven method of yours been in place? lol not more than 6 months since ur dragon is still alive. You could sprinkle magic keep him alive powder in there and he wont live. You LFS should give you better advice!

Unless you can provide plenty of food your mandarin it will die in less than a year. Your tank is to small to keep a live population of pods for a mandarin. If you were to get a well feed specimen then it might live over a year, but its doubtfull....most are starving in the tanks at your lfs.
