Just a general discussion about mandarins looking to get everybodies input specifically about captive bred mandarins and/or eating frozen food mandarins. I haven't had a mandarin for 10+ years back when they didn't have captive bred ones or ones that really atw frozen foods so the old mentality was unless you had a large enough set up with copepods (55 with sump or 75+) there was a slim chance of you keeping one.
With the increase in availabilty of captive bred mandarins who eat frozen food more readily what are peoples thoughts on successfully keeping them in smaller set ups? Whats the smallest set up anyones keeping a captive bred mandarin in?
I've always manted another one but still wouldn't feel comfortable keeping one in my sumpless 25 even if it was captive bred and eating frozen because of my old school mentality.
