First fish..

[Oceanicsublimat]

My tank has been up for about 2 months now and I have just purchased my first fish.. a scooter dragonette.. I didn't realize they were like mandarin fish when I got it..the lfs didn't have any other fish in and I wanted to get a fish so I can start feeding the tank.. since my system is so new will the scooter eat all the pods up or do u think I'll be ok?

Honestly, with your tank only two months old, he's probably going to starve to death.

They often starve to death in old established tanks.

so... maybe I should take him to another store to sell?

I just don't want my pod population to go down...I have a 55gal with about 85lbs of lr and 60lbs of ls

will this fish eat all my pods up since my aquarium is so young?

It will starve. Take it back.

From what I heard dragonites just keep the pod population under control. Pods reproduce like rabbits, Mine reproduce in my fuge then flow into the main aquarium from what I have seen also I look at one rock and I see like 10 pop their heads out then go back in. IDK whats going on in there maybe a little party? My point is is that pods once there in the aquarium they will continue to be there even if they are being eatin.
