That is such a beautiful mandarin fish. That is one of the fish that I want when I get a SW tank.

Tom

I think you forgot it.
Tom

bhcaaron

Where?

bhcaaron

The site states they are so difficult to care for it is wise to wait till the tank matures a FULL year! Well worth the wait!

Tom

That it is. I would love to have some of them, some clown fish and a flame angel or two.
Tom

bhcaaron

Yep, yep! Except the clown fish. So many already have it. (If you happen to know that many others also have Mandarin Fish.... keep it to yourself, don't ruin it for me! )

Tom

So you don't want me to tell you that I know a lot of people with them?
Tom

bhcaaron

More!

I didn't want to be in unison. I don't like going with the flock, I would rather go against the crowd.

So I read today about Dragonets in my book. They are most definitely not one of the easiest to care for. They will probably be the most difficult fish I will have. However, earlier on in the book the author mentioned something that makes sense, and, works for many other things in life, not just fish keeping.

Basically, the reasoning is this: If you maintain your tank with quality suitable for the most finicky of fish you will own, the rest of the creatures will most certainly be happy.

The words above are my own, the thought is an old one, but, its the author's Idea I'm trying to convey, and I agree with it. I hope it makes sense to you all.

(I say it also works in life because sometimes, NOT ALWAYS, if you resolve to solve the biggest problems first, the smaller ones may fall in place. I say not always because sometimes you have to take small steps and tackle the smallest hurdles first. But, this forum isn't for lessons in life, soooooo, the above statements work )

I also just found out sea horsies can be kept with dragonets, gobies, dartfish, firefish, ocellaris and clownfish (I'm actually surprised by ocellaris and clownfish, but, the same people that said it would not be compatible in their chart -liveaquaria- also state that it IS on the sea horsie paragraphs).
