Another Newbie Mistake - for other newbies. Please believe everyone when they say it is not advisable to purchase a Mandarin fish unless your tank is old and stable. They will die of starvation in newly established tanks. Yes they will survive but only long enough for you to forget how much u paid for them.
Nevertheless, as beautiful as these creatures are, let's leave them in our LFS until our tank is at least a year old and/or until a sufficient amount of goodies are have developed in your tank for them to feed on.
