What size tank? What lights are you using? A nem requires very strong lighting and a good established tank.

You might have issues with the nem and I'd re home the damsel. They are the nastiest little fish I know.

How long has it been running?

I'm thinking it needs more light, can you take a pic of the light? But it's been that way since you've had it?

Seems like everyone missed the Mandarin. Has he taken to eating frozen food? They are notoriously picky eaters and frequently starve themselves to death if the pod population is not enough (and in a 10 gal tank it will never be enough). If he is eating tho you are very lucky because I think they are the coolest looking fish.
My 110 gal is only 3 months old and I don't think it's ready for a mandarin yet.

Why are you feeding your mandarin?

Your first part of the post is incorrect. And your talking about me since it was a two way conversation for a little while. With that said... didn't miss it, I just don't assume things anymore. There are ORA's etc... Maybe it's eating frozen food? They do eat other then pods, they can be trained.

I simply asked the questions I wanted to ask.

You shouldn't assume either. There's always a method behind the madness...

Convict, I wasn't talking about just you not mentioning the mandarin, but others as well who never mentioned anything. Including any readers who never posted

As for the mandarin eating frozen - awesome. Good luck with him.
