- Thread starter luisrcrx
- Start date
Ok another update and pics
Got some corals but i dont know there names 1 i think is a sps another is a leather
What do you guys think?
Also im interested in a green mandarin (yes i know they are supposedly hard to keep mainly due to feeding). Can they eat brine and/or miysis shrimp or just copiapods (reef bugs). My lfs has live copiapods (spelling?) so i can seed my tank before hand. Any one have one give my some advice?
I have a clown,six line wrasse,two yellow tail damsels ,and a royal gramma baslet. I think only the wasse might be a problem due to i think he also eats reef bugs.

I want a mandarin too, they are beautiful.
What I would do for a mandarin is get a a box of those bottled pods, make sure your tank is crawling in them before you even consider buying one.
Set up a 10 gallon with some LR and make sure that to is crawling in pods.
Buy the fish, put it in 10 gal, try to entice it to eat shrimps if your lucky it should eat them. then put him in the tank.
Just watch it every day to see how it's doing and watch for pushed in stomachs.
But then again your tank is only 30 gallons, i don't know if that's big enough for one.
have a box of this stuff on hand:http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+2190+2593&pcatid=2593
Good luck with it!

Sorry everyone for the LLLLOOOONNNGGGGG delay, I've been here looking around but haven't posted anything lol
my lighting is a coralife compact florescent with lunar lights its the one i posted the link to in my first or second post.
my tank is still running i built a sump out of an old 10gal i had laying around with an overflow, filter sock, UV and i started to build an algae filter.
my livestock has seen some ups and downs my original clown died from some internal Parasites, had two six line wrasses at different times both died by jumping out of the tank, twice came home to find a dead wrasse on my living room floor i guess they wanted to watch tv
my tank now has one clown,algae blenny,scooter dragonet and a falco's hawk fish.
my inverts are a banded coral shrimp some hermits and a couple of turbo snails, my zooanthids are doing good aswell here are a few pics of the tank
tomorrow
