I had a mandarin doing great in a 50 gallon with a 10g fuge for almost six months. He was the ONLY fish. Against some good advice, I put a six line wrasse in with him. It took him 3 months to starve. I feel absolutely terrible. He was the only thing I have killed since getting back into the hobby after a long brake to do research. I will probably never buy another mandarin unless I have a HUGE, VERY well established tank with nothing to compete for food. They are beautiful fish but IMO are a species better left in the ocean.
