Default Green Mandarin Dragonet

What an awesome fish. I've always been apprehensive with owning one because of the mortality rate for reasons we all know. I however, have plentiful amounts of food for it fortunately. I do think this fish should priced higher to keep away the people that like to take chances. Mine was only twenty bucks. It seems like so little for such a killer fish. I'd love to post pics, but, haven't had luck posting them for some reason. Please help.

I also love my little Mandarin. I think he is the best fish in the tank, never pesters anyone. Couldn't ask for a better fish.

As for posting pics, hit the paperclip in the toolbar and use
3reef Image Tools to shrink your image so that it will download.

I like mine also.

Here is pic of the little guy. - a fat little sausage.



Very durable fish. Have had since tank inception.

Fun to watch searching every nook and cranny looking for goodies to eat. Doesn't ever seem to stop doing so.

Trick to survivablity is mature LR and getting as a juvenile.


Enjoy!
