    My mandarin was pretty pissed off at this beanie. All flared up. I think it's an ugly beanie myself. Some of the pics aren't the greatest,but, pretty cool.

    They require pods(sometimes feeding on prepared foods depending on individual fish/availability/tank mates) for food and have a very low survivability rate. A refugium is very beneficial. My tanks been running for about a year+.

    I can understand why he's upset, the beanie is blocking the view of his "Human" tank.
