    well yeah i know this happens on forums but i mean discouragement kind of makes it feel like its impossible to keep a mandarin in a 10 gallon. im pretty sure someone has done it before, but if i eve do attempt to do so it'll probably be after my tank is truly established. for now im just going with regular fish, though i probably am gonna start a fuge soon enough

    ive kept a mandarin in a 16 gallon but it was eating prepared food and relied little upon the live rock.
