    Thank you Incognito for the clarification. Mandy's are one of those fish that I read aas much as possible on but do not feel experienced enough yet to purchase one.

    Only when you're truly ready should you get one. Either that or you're too stubborn, and the live and learn experience comes into effect.

    Once upon a time there wasn't the variety that's available today. We fed a lot of frozen brineshrimp back then and that's how mine started. Now in a bit, I'm going to get a few and test some different methods of training them over.

    My first saltwater fish was a seahorse, so I can't say much. Still keep them 15 years later..... killed a nice few along the way....

    probably could wait two weeks the first time, then you'll need to go once a week IMO
