I have a 90 gal. mixed reef. 150 lbs. live rock, 150 lbs. live sand. I have a yellow tang, salfin tang, and a goby in q/t now. I also have two peppermint shrimp and a blood shrimp, and a clean up crew. I'm runnig a 45 gal. sump and a third of that is fuge. I would like to ad a green manderin later. I am about two weeks away from adding fish back to my tank and would like to start planning.

IMO, you can't add a mandarin late enough. I've seen them starve to death in a 120G system that was 2 years old & actually seen them flourish in a 29.. IF they would accept prepared food.

The best chance of getting one to eat is to check your lfs's for one that can be fed. Fed more than just brine, let me add.

search "mandarin diner" & look at melev's mandarins.
