    as far as I know my Hippo Tang and Clown has not been harrassed or anything, everyone seems to be living happily together.

    The Green Mandarin is AWESOME[smiley=2thumbsup.gif] It has become my favorite fish as I have just recently got it. It hovers around rock work and the way they swim is just fasinating..

    Anyway, I am just wondering if he has been getting any copepods in my tank because the copepods only comes out when it's dark and my Mandarin is sleeping at that time??? If anyone have any input on this, TIA ;)

    well, since they are their main food source I would say that they are pretty good in getting them. As long as you have enough in your tank, he will get enough.

    They don't really swim, they crawl. Shine a flashlite in your tank about an hour after all lights out, you will see them.
