    I hope so! She is thin, but so pretty. Thanks!! :)

    I got her at Barrier Reef Aquariums in Renton. My favorite place, by far! I read that ORA only released two mandarins to each vendor, so they are hard to come by.

    I'm in Seattle.

    Feeding update:

    She was out this afternoon so I did an impromptu feeding. She perked up!! But wouldn't bite. I tried frozen brine today. I squirted it right down to her, she watched and seemed excited, but no action. She moved a little bit towards it but then stopped. I really thought she was gonna do it!!

    Hopefully she will be out again later today so I can try again. My other fish are loving the extra feedings! :)
