    hi guys

    i finally got me a mated pair of mandarins i have been waiting very patiently for a pair to show and a decent pair at that. and for a added bonus they are even eat brine shrimp and blood worm so they arent such piccy eaters (thank god).

    let's just hope they stay fat and healthy.

    cheers dave

    have you ever seen a pair mate? ive heard that they do this beautiful vertical dance while spiraling around each other from the sand bed to the top of the water... would be amazing to see!!!

    Awesome, watching Mandarins spawn is really fascinating, youtube/vimeo search for it there are plenty of videos out there of it.
