Good to hear Kio, jealous of your mandarin. I would absolutely love a scooter or mandarin.

Very nice! Beautiful fish. I'm working towards getting my new tank set up for a scooter that I'm thinking of adding a few months down the road. Mandarin's and scooters are just too awesome!

Doing good as of this morning. Thanks for asking kio. I'm really glad to hear your mandarin is doing well.
I did more digging and asking about that nutramar. It's good food IF your mandarin will eat it. But if not then your boned. I just skimmed it before I hit reply but you saw your lil guy hit on a pellet? Thats great.

Don't you have a nem in there also? I thought they would eat mandarins.

Mandarins are just slow in generally, so the nem can catch them fairly easily...as long as the nem is fed, and the mandarin doesnt get to close it will be fine

Great, that's what I wanted to hear, it means that I can have a mandarin once my tank is more established.

well, not really.....an anemone will take in whatever touches it and worry about it later (J/K, anemones don't have brains), and mandarins know not to touch an anemone IMO/IME. a failing mandarin that is starving to death however, might bump into an anemone and become food.
it has nothing to do with the speed of the fish, or the fact that the anemone has a full "stomach".
love the serpent btw!

If I could butt in for just a second here.
Hey Mr. _X since you love to help people out, I have a good cause for you. There is a thread called "classroom setting up 10 gal. OT this afternoon". It is someone teaching a home school class. Some kids are young and some are high school age. I am trying to help them out as best I can but you could be a huge help to them. I think it is a cool way to teach kids. If you have time, check it out and give them a hand. I think the kids are posting most of the questions.
