    get a tank bred Mandarin. I must stress tank bred!! they are way easier to maintain as they have been trained on frozen food.

    Not true, in fact a thread on RC showed a larger amount of WC Mandarin owners having theirs eat much quicker and better than the CB ones, but CB ones are CB, so they don't hurt the reefs.

    It's close, it's a petsmart 60, so it's 48.25" (that's what I have in my notes anyway).

    thanks!

    Petsmart carries a tank that looks like a 75 on its side - tall but no real swimming space. I thought that's what you meant.

    So, an update to what happens in real life. I was set to think on this fish purchase for a while. Then I sent my GF to the LFS to pick up my water and you can read the rest here. It starts on post #5.
