Update on Mandarin

Ok, as some of you might remember I posted about a month ago about me rescueing a female mandarin and not knowing if she would make it.
well its been 4 weeks and 3 days and she is still alive. I don't know if she gained any weight but she looks like it to me and her coloring is much better.

4 weeks and 3 days later





what do you guys think? I know they aren't the best comparison pictures but shes shy.

 

Out of curiosity, I'm guessing the tank is a little small for her haha? Not to bash just a suggestion, have you ever tried feeding it blood worms? I have a scooter blenny that is the only fish in my ten gallon and it loves mysis shrimp and blood worms and is doing soooo much better then when I got it from the store.

 

And cool pic of the manadrin and the clown, looks like there friends

 

Great to hear that she's survived and doing well.
The color has improved a lot.
She seems to be happyand healthy in there. k+

 

I have 2 clowns, 1 hippo tang, and 2 mandarins in the 55 gallon.
my male mandarin eats frozen bloodworms, frozen brine, and pellets.
I have not seen her directly eat the frozen yet but I also cannot tell exactly what the is eating as she stay in the back on the tank mostly.

 

oh and the clown and her aren't buds. He mostly nips at her and the male.
The clown also seems to really like the camera flahs so I think hes a camera hog.

 

Glad to see that she is still hanging in there! Have you tried different types of foods? Now mine is eating cyclop-eeze and pellet foods. I started him off with live brine.

 

my male eats formula one pellets and frozen brine and bloodworms.
i feed a varied diet to the whole tank
