Wowie. That reef looks impressive. Do you have a build thread?

Also, for these asking about pellets, I know many CB ones do eat them. However, mandarins tend to graze all day. So a tank should have a healthy population of pods for them to eat
We use TDO B2 pellets as well as Piscine Energetics Pellets has a hatchery size of 400 µm but in a pinch we've crushed up/blended large PE pellets. Over the years we've also used things like Cobalt Aquatics' Smartemia and various LPS coral foods too. They're also fed Frozen Hikari baby brine and PE Calanus. As long as its tiny and smelly they usually go after it.@Biota_Marine Jake, which pellet do you think is the best to feed. I have hikari-s on hand but so far no interest.
Hey MrWilson, we typically sell the mandarins at around 75-95dph but it does sometimes depend on their individual growth rate. Mandarins grow slower in higher densities so that can be an issue during our grow-out which would cause them to stay longer at our location. We have heard of customers reporting spawning behavior within 6 months of receiving our pairs but know that may not be viable egg production and usually it isn't until around 2ish years before pairs really get in the swing of things.Jake, this is a great thread - thanks for taking the time to answer everyone’s questions. I’m considering ordering a pair of mandarins, and my favorite thing about mandarins is their cool spawning behavior. I’ve read that captive-bred mandarins don’t reach sexual maturity until they are about 14 months old. Approximately how old are the mandarin pairs you guys are currently selling? (I’m interested to know how long after purchasing them that I might expect to first see them spawn, assuming they are eating and healthy.)
Because we are the bomb. That was the first expensive fish i bought and drove 2 hours to algaebarn to pick it ip. Now they have moved and i work there. They are small fish when you get them super cute and mines fat and alot bigger now.he ate pellets the day after i got him. BIOTA has some nice stuffHow come the fish cheaper on algae barn?
Congratulations ! Best wishes for success !I just got my mandarin last night. I am so beyond excited with this little guy, the file fish and peppermint shrimp.
Thank you guys!
