Frogface, my sister's mandarinfish, displays in front of a mirror—he thinks there's a male in his territory!

I doubt that fish is still alive seems very thin.

@Smax2112 He was thin in the beginning and the end, but between those times he fared decently considering the tank is considered too small to sustain mandarinfish. He did die; we all miss him.

@ThePrairieOrca Sad to hear that :(.  I have my own mandarinfish I introduced him way to early (after a month) into my aquarium Ive had him for a week and he is actually getting fatter bought copepods for him tough.

[ThePrairieOrca]

@Smax2112 Yeah, he was everyone's favourite. I hope some day to build/buy a new custom marine aquarium designed specifically for mandarins, overrun with copepods and the other creatures they love to eat.

Ooh, yeah, that must be tricky. Good luck with your mandarin, hope he lives a long time for you!

nice but he looks kind of thin does he eat?

[ThePrairieOrca]

@greeneyetrex Yes he ate, but at the time there was not enough natural food for him to consume so he was thin. Shortly after this video was taken my sister began supplementing his diet (I forget what exactly, may have included frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, and I think frozen mysis shrimp).

@ThePrairieOrca Good luck with your future mandarin(s) :). Green mandarin is definetly my favorite fish allways wanted one! Mandarins sure looks like frogs on their face my mandarin is named Kermy :]
