    i really think another bottom dweller would be aggressive and and too much competition for the mandarin you have. he really makes it hard to have other fish on the sandbed.

    With the fish having complete different diets its still too much competition?

    IMO your fully stocked, 4 medium sized fish is enough, I would also get the mandarin on prepared foods ASAP!
    HTH:)

    How do I convert him to prepared foods? Pods will get expensive for sure

    they are opertunistic feeders, the things mandarins eat will be eaten by any other fish as well, sometimes even tangs cant pass up an opportunity like that.

    lol, happened to me a few times too. They'll post a new pair again. I lost a few clams sitting on my hands.

    Good luck;)
