Hmm...just went to liveaquaria and their requirements are also 30 gal min. The main reason that there may be a size requirement with this species is so that they can get adequate food...not for swimming room. I have seen plenty of mandrins that have died in tanks more than double the size of this and I have also personally owned a mandarin that ate mysis and was rediculously fat...The dude says that it is eating frozen and there is also a healthy pod population, I dont see an issue here with tank size...
