Mandarin wanted!

[jmorganv]

I'm looking for a very very small mandarin fish to add additional color and flavor to my tank. If anyone knows where I can get one please pm me or send me the contact info of someone that can assist me in my search.

Thanks,
Rob

Your tank (50 gal) is borderline for being able to support that fish unless you manage to train it to eat frozen foods.

I would have appreciated this advice response more had it not been in reply to a post in the "want to buy" forum but rather in the "seeking advice forum" (if one exists). I've been in this hobby for around 16 years and have owned a few mandarins over that time. Never had one die but have had to sell the few i've owned do to tank break downs and moving. All I've kept were kept a min. of 3 years. Being that most of these particular fish are tank raised on the market now they tend to eat both tank bugs "copies" and "prep food". Not only do I have a mature tank with bugs and LR a plenty but my refug is a breeding ground for them as well. My 55g is by no means borderline size for such a fish, especially when it won't have to compete! The reason I post here is to throw business to my fellow MR members and to create relationships for future purchases. Don't let the Junior member status or my join date fool you! Nonetheless, thanks for your reply. Maybe we can buy/sell/trade in the future.
