Some good info and some bad, I've had mine for 9 months started in a 10 gallon and switched to 30 gallon after 6 months and never added pods he eats frozen cyclops and any pods that are still in the tank.

[@justdabubbletip1452]

Great video. I think you are spot on. U need a refugium to make them survive. Have one in my 120 for over a year and just lives on microfauna

[@OceanStateAquaticsTV]

Just da Bubble tip awesome!!!!!

[@nicocastillo500]

Mine are on frozen brine shrimp. But I do put in copepods about every 3 weeks

[@jamelmanning4462]

I have a green mandarin and he loves frozen food

[@JIGG29]

Great information

[@tonybryant2767]

It’s fresh water joe proceeds to show saltwater fish tanks 🤣🤦🏾

I disagreed I have a one in a 30 long AIO for 2 years and just introduced a male.

[@LuisManuelHdez]

Agreed . Kept one in a 30g but you do have to add pods frequently.

Mandarins also eat munnid isopods and other microfauna so do not eat just copepods. Although some people refer to isopods as copepods which is incorrect.

GREAT JOB

[@OceanStateAquaticsTV]

Kush Corals thanks Bobby !

[@markkus1134]

[@alexvids9232]

they can survive on frozen food if they eat it.

[@A.R.C.77]

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

I must be an expert I had mine 3 years on baby brine with egg sack I hatching 24/7 feed my corals with same

[@jonniefast]

what corals did you have that ate brine😮

[@rdkingjaxfla1423]

Good video....can Mandarins live with shrimp ? Also can you have one of each species ? Thks 😎

[@OceanStateAquaticsTV]

They can possibly live with cleaner or fire shrimp but there is a risk the shrimp will steal food from the seahorses or, if they're larger horses, they may prey on the shrimps. -Salty Ali!

[@michaelmelo8075]

will they breed in a reef tank ?

[@gasp5027]

I've heard of them but its very hard

[@mikesbigtank6015]

Yes mine was captive bred.

[@DJALOKVALE]

[@ThBraz]

Great vid bud. Hugs from Brazil

[@alanallington1001]

Can a mandarin live with a pistol shrimp and 2 cleaners??

[@user-ko9iz8if6t]

Yes

[@ecologygarden]

Wasn't much footage of Mandarins but lots of info provided.

[@crtinkering7323]

[@intergalacticbigboi7088]

[@thelonewrangler1008]
