    Those are such beautiful fish!

    Once I have a well established tank, and possibly a refugium to grow some food, I want to get me one ;D

    No! MY LFS found this out the hard way. They put a spotted and a green together. The green was twice as big as the spotted, but that little guy would grab the other by the fin and drag him around the tank. We saw it literally ramming into the bigger one (think of a bottle nosed dolphin versus a shark). By the time they got a net in the water and fished the green mandarin out he was beyond repair.

    Gorgeous fish, but when it comes to con specifics they're meaner than a pit viper.

    I'm glad you were able to find one in your tank wildreef. That's just awesome. I would also love one down the way, but I have anthias and that would be to much competition for pods.

    Yes Scott, I beleive this one is a real keeper , caught the dragonett just right.
    But you and I both know this little guy is a great model , It's personality allows for great photo opurtunitys.
    And I'm gettin better I think but best judged by my peers, thats why I put this pic up.
