Help me pick a goby!

[Altohombre]

I may wait a couple months and see if my tank is producting copepods and get a Mandarin. Do copepods only grown in reef tanks?

 

[reeffreak]

If you have live rock-you will have copepods.It doesn't have to be a reef system.

Sorry,IMO your tank is too small for a Mandarin even if you had a refugium.

 

[Altohombre]

damn you Reef and your knowledge!

 

[reeffreak]

You don't have to listen to me.Try to find one thats eating frozen prior to taking it home.They are also slow eaters so aggressive eaters will out compete one and make sure your tank is mature 6-8 months first so the copepods can populate.Also,its better to have 1.5 or more pounds of live rock per gallon.It would be better to incorporate a refugium as well........now you can try one!:mrgreen:

You've seen my ''tang police'' pic,right?I need to get Lionfish to make a ''mandarin police''.Too many threads about ''will a mandarin be okay in my tank.''

my LFS was out of blennies and only had a really tiny neon goby and small yellow watchmen gobies so I didn't get either.
