Blue tang in a 40G breeder...

And ignoring mass, you also have dietary concerns. A mandarin can physically be ok in a 15g tank as far as size is concerned, but it is also a death sentence because of it's need for a large pod population for food.

Unless it learned to take non live pod food (not the norm)

but that's ok. I can get 10 mandarins and experiment with them in my 10g. then take the sick starving ones back to the LFS who didn't learn to eat non live pods

Yah but then they'd call you an A-hole and ask you not to come back to the LFS Most people ask prior to buying the fish to see it eat or not

Notice how I said it's not the norm...I didn't mean Norman FWIW I just trained my friends mandarin onto Arcti-Pods Took two months but it eats them with gusto now

Only at a good LFS, most places would give you 2.00 store credit on your 20.00 fish, and would be happy to sell you a clown trigger for your 5 gal mixed reef pico..............SMH

I experiment with stuff all the time. If it gets sick, bring him back to the LFS. If he dies, then thats that... [/quote]
