Thanks Mr. B! The Mandarin has been in there for just under a year.Added 12/20/2010. The Tang was added on 7/14/2011. To see his growth look on page15 post#141. He got big fast!!!

 

Thanks!!;D8)

 

Beautiful shots of your animals, all look very well

 

Thanks John!!

 

Your Mandarin looks amazing. I don't want one anytime in the near future, but when I get a bigger system with established pod colony I would love to have one lol. Great looking system.

 

The tanks looks awesome V. The tang looks like its on steroids. Nice coloration.

 

Thank you!! I am always somewhat hesitant to post pictures of it. They are such incredibly beautiful fish it would be hard not to want to try one; which is why so many have been killed. I can report mine is doing well although it still will not even look at ANY preparedfoods.Nadda,zip,nothing. I am a little worried about my new biopellets creating such a low nutrient level that all my pods will dissappear. I haven't supplemented pods for 9 months.I would strongly encourage anyone considering this fish choose an ORA Mandarin as they are raised on Nutramar Ova and seem to adapt a little better to eating something other then pods.This one fish with no other competition has kept my pod level at an incredibly low level. Amazing hunters.8)

 

Thank you Bruh!I certainly got my wish with this Tang!!!When I was at the LFS they had a mature Tomini in there frag tank. He was black as night and looked almost like an Achilles Tang. The one I purchased for my frag tank is a chocolate brown color. This one is getting to be Black!!!!!;D;D;D;D His growth rate surprised me!!!Beautiful fish that makes snails and crabs look like algae eating amateurs.I renamed him Jeeves!!

 

WOW. Your mandarin is beautiful! And your tomini tang is equally as cool.
