Sad Day :(

Well My day was doing good especially when i bought the green mandarin. I was happy acclimated it and put it in my tank. It was swimming happy to the hiding space in the rock. Yay! :D Then I went to take a nap since I just got home from school. I woke up 4 hours later with a sad face. :( I saw my six line wrasses was harassing my Mandarin. :( I was so sad :( I looked up why is that and realized that they aren't meant to be together unless is huge tank. :( I was sad. :( I thought i read six line wrasses was peaceful before i bought it or would known that they both strive on the same food. I tried to turn of the main light which did stop the six line wrasses harassing it but as I looked in it more and realize that six line wrasses eat pod which I honestly didn't know. So I made up mind went to the store and return. I really love the fish but I didn't want it to die so i return it to the store. In exchange I just got some snails and emerald crab. :( I was debating so i red starfish instead or corals. Though I prefer corals that moves with the wave current but don't have enough $$ even though my lfs gives me 2 dollar for each item i buy. xo. Sad Day, but i think i did what was right. Though if i could've caught the six line i would but i really like it! It is so interesting to watch it swim through crack in the fish tank.

Mandarins need LOTS of copepods to eat or else they would starve. In such a small tank with two six line wrasses, then it would be for certain. I'm glad you made the right choice and took him back.
