Hi, I have two anemones and they are very easy to keep. I also have four Manderins. Three manderins and one spotted manderin and they are all very healthy. I don't know where the idea came from that they are slow. Mine can move like lightening when they want to or need to. Janet

Hi, I have had a male spotted madaJanetrin for about a year. He is fat and healthy. He is in a 70G tank and I also have one reg. mandarin with him. They get along great. He eats frozen brine,frozen mysis and the occassional live food I give him.

When I hatch brine I keep the water temp. about 80 and they hatch in about 18 hrs. Turn off the bubbler and point a light to the bottom of the container and if they have hatched, there will be a little pink blob at the source of light, that is your baby brine. Janet

Hi Todd, Yikes!! I had no idea. I have been watching mine very closely for a couple of days and have decided he is deffinately the little bugger that put a hole in one of my female madarin's fin. I am moving him to another tank today and I am sure he will be just as happy and I won't have to...

Good for you!!.It's always best to move anything rather than kill it. I salute you!! Guess I'm just an old softie. Thanks for the info. Janet

Well, I'm convinced. I am going to leave the two E. crabs where they are for the moment and just observe. I really like the little guys but one of my female manderins has a hole in one of her fins and I thought she could have had a run in with the crab. Thanks for the comments! Janet

My favorite is Instant Ocean. I use it in all four of my tanks. Janet

Thanks for the input ,Tom. He is really not hurting anyone. He is in a 70 G. Tank and boy, he has a whopping big appetite!! Janet

Yours sound like the same sizes as my two.Good luck catching him. I have been trying for three days.Fast little buggers, aren't they! Janet

Thanks, I will check it out.

Has anyone had any problems with Emerald Crabs? Janet

Thanks lots for the help. I buy adult brine for my seahorses and was under the impression I needed green water to grow them after hatching. I will check out your info. Thanks again! Janet

can anyone tell me how to make green water to grow baby brine shrimp? I have to drive 60 miles to just buy adult brine.

Does anyone else have a Golden Lyretail Blennie? I think this is one of the friendliest and amusing water critters I have. Janet

I have three mandarins,one male, two female and one male spotted mandarin. They are in a 70 gal.tank and I have had three of them for about a year and they are doing very well. They will eat frozen brine and daphnia. They also love treats of live food,(adult brine and baby guppies). Janet
