[AmberSunrise]

Very cute I have never seen one of those!

 

[Northstar24]

Are those hard to takecare of?

 

[Dana42078]

Ask Erin or Brian.....I figure if I haven't had a problem with my mandarin after a year I should be able to handle her

 

[Bifferwine]

They aren't hard to take care of if you get one that doesn't have parasites, and that eats. Unfortunately, many of them come with worms, so it's a must that they be quarantined and treated with antiparasitics before you add them to the tank. And then, their feeding habits are similar to mandarins. So if you can get one eating frozen, it's smooth sailing from there.
