    Way cool, thanks Jason.

    Have to find out what he is feeding them...the only thing that has preventing me from getting another was food source.---does not seem a problem for him. ;D

    Omard, I'd just ask around your LFS's when they get orders in and feed some mysis. This usually only works when there are other fish (clowns etc.) with the mandarin. Usually younger mandarins can 'learn' to eat mysis by watching clowns - mine did ;) Oh, and it says on the page, Formula 1 and 2 pellets :). My goby loves em, so maybe he'll teach my mandarin.

    Dont kill me and nobody freak out, but I got a mandarin today. He readily ate mysis shrimp so I figure give him a shot :p
    My LFS will be stocking pods, so I'll start by adding a bottle every month and see if that's enough.

    Lets see if my goby teaches him to eat pellet!

    Is the first pic of the mandarins two males? I thought the tall dorsal spike were males :/

    Those pictures are amazing! Man...I wish I had 1200 bucks to buy underwater housing for my D50...I think I can get one for my little canon digi though...less than 100$...hopefully there will be some fish and coral in hawaii.

    I understand completely. These pics make me want to throw my current camera out the window.

    I think you will find a few fish and corals in Hawaii. ;D

    Let me give you my Indonesia (Bali) spiel:

    For only a couple of hundred bucks more you can fly to Bali...you will make this back in just couple of days as very, very nice rooms cost $25-$30, few meals cost more the $2-$3...

    Very Expensive ~$35 night

    [​IMG]

    Less Expensive ~$25 night

    Typical Breakfast that comes with room price.






    compared with going to hawaii...no brainer [​IMG]
