My Mandarin after 6 weeks.

I had posted before I bought my Mandarin to see if my tank would be able to support his appetite. Here is a picture of him 6 weeks after adding him to the tank. He appears to be doing fine to me, but I wanted to run it by some of the experts to make sure he is fine. He eats like crazy and I still see pods on the glass.

Looks like a nice healthy female Dragonette.

Yeah Bang, how do you know it's a female? If it's the tall spike on the front fin, it has one. You just can't see it in the picture.
I'm glad it is doing fine though. I believe it has plenty to eat and it is the only thing in the tank that eats pods so there is no competition.

Then I stand corrected. The shorter dorsal fin threw me off.

Oh! Mr. Paisley. What a beauty. Yeah he has that long fin in front, but he very seldom raises it. It is usually flat on his back.
