    Lost my mandarin tonight. This was coming on for a while he just decided to stop eating a month ago, I tried everything from frozen foods to pods.I really wanted him to pull through but he didn't.He just kept getting skinnier and skinnier :(

    How long have you had him? I have mine for over a year in my 46 and doing well very fat. He must have been sick too not want to eat. How much LR do you have and did you have a refugium?

    I had him for about 6 months i've heard sometimes they just stop eating and sometimes its impossible to get them on frozen food.its not my first mandrin I've had successful ones in other tanks. My tank specs are in my sig.

    bummer man! I hope you have better luck with the next one it sounds like you really like that type of fish.

    I think i will get one once my tank is up for over a year.
