dsoz Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 If you want to bring him over, I can put him in my display until he starts to look better. I am afraid that my lawnmower bleney would pick on him though. He may end up worse off in my tank than he is in yours. If all else fails, I can hold him until someone else wants to take it. Give me a call. I should be home all night tonight and part of the afternoon Sunday. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 It looks male to me. Enlarged fins and all. He would strut when he swims if he wasn't so skinny. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonmfg Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 i've had really good success with Arctipods. Mandarins can be tough to get to eat though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegotjs Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Just for info ,I did add a bottle of arctic pods and tiger pods when he was in my tank.Still didn't do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undrtkr_00 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'd love to have him. I've been thinking of adding a mandarin for a bit now... my 'pod population is thriving. (plotting) Dennis, I'll shoot you a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 There are now three people asking for the mandarin. One of them will probably get it so no more requests, please. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriswaters Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 What has become of this fish? Just curious as I pulled out a couple of rocks in my sump and a ton of lovely squirmy little things jumped out! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The sad part is that after living in my sump for a couple of weeks, the poor guy ended up starving to death. He was emaciated to begin with, and Jon tried feeding it a couple of times with bottles of live copepods, but to no avail. In my sump there was plenty of food. He still did not make it. :( dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
