    Thought you would find this interesting. I see this as an odd practice and dont think i will buy LR from the LFS LOL. He has a 280 gallon tank setup which is his live rock tank. He has TONNNNNS of flatworms in there for his Mandarins.
    He has had 4 mandarin dragonettes in there for many months now that are doing great. Just thought you mandarin lovers would like to hear this story.

    Thanks for sharing. I hope to one day keep a Mandarin. They're so pretty but through the years working at the LFS, I have never seen one survive more than a month.

    Very happy. they have been in there for as long as I have been going there. I have been going there for probably 6 months. It had a decent amount of rock in there before.. about like a regular setup reef tank. Where is he consolidating tanks it is completely full of rock now. I just couldnt believe my eyes, 4 mandarins. Now, if I were to get some of this live rock for my new setup. Would these flatworms invade me? LOL off topic a little but still.
