Captive Bred Mandarins On The Way From ORA

Nice.

One of our local reefing guys in my club has been raising ocellaris clowns, now he will be doing the same with his mandarins.

His pair of mandarins have been spawning in his tank, and the upbringing of the mandarin fry is not really any different than raising clown fry.

Maybe this is why ORA hasn't had any fridmani dottybacks up for sale recently?

 

Hopefully they will also update their website! Their new species list is from 2007, LOL!

 

great news!

 

some people are concerned about the long term effects of frozen and prepared foods for mandarins, from what i read some people insist that you can't keep them healthy long term on prepared foods that they die anyway. Not sure how true this is but its something i heard and somthing for those who dont have any pods at all or a fuge to keep in mind before purchasing.

Regardsless this is a HUGE advancement and i'm very happy for ORA regardless of cost this can help reduce the number of wild caught and thats always a victory.

 

Things are moving forward with reefkeeping.. I cant wait to have one..

 

im getting one lol. I had a spotted mandrin that did great in my tank until my clown dbag chased him up on my macro algea one night and he couldnt get back in

 

I've never heard of anything ORA grows and sells to not be expensive.

 

sweet my birthday is in may it would be sweet if i could get one for a b-day present!! is ORA a sponsor?

 

The reason people think that is because they have a very fast metabolism and need to be fed more than once a day unlike most fish who often do well being fed everyother day

 

ORA a sponsor?

LOL

They don't cater to reef groups, they cater t the retail stores that cater to the individual. Notice that you can't buy direct from ORA?
