    The mandarin, even though he has a huge SG swing, seems to be doing well. He is swimming, still being dripped but very close to the right SG, i should be able to add him in a few. The wrasse is still just laying there. I was told they like to play dead so hopefully that is all that is happening.

    What kind of mandarin do you have? I've got a bonded pair of green mandarins and we've caught them dancing twice now. Love watching their courtship.

    Green striped mandarin. Haven't seen it well enough to know if it is male or female yet.

    I know it. Both my computers died on me within a week so i haven't posted a whole lot because i don't like using the forums on my phone so much. I haven't had much luck recently but added dosing pumps which have really stabilized my alk. I have seen improvement since adding them.

    After feeding the wrasse some ROE he is all over the place.

    The mandarin is swimming about but may have been too afraid to stick around long enough to try it. I will keep watching him until I see him eat something.

    Lights still not on for pictures

    I have been waiting to get a picture of both to post at the save time. I can't get a decent picture of the mandarin. (She?) is always hiding. I haven't seen any aggression from the clown fish but that certainly doesn't mean it isn't happening.
