Mandarin is hard to keep, it feeds on pods and I don't think your tank has any. Unless u are lucky to have acquired a pellet eating one.

Also the bumblebee snail is challenging to keep as it is carnivorous and might turn on the other snails as food source.

New as you may be, there are tons of info on the Internet. I suggest you read up before subjecting live animals to unfavorable and potentially fatal conditions.

So far my mandarin has been roaming around to eat the pods in the tank. I did see some but not sure it Alot. It has been we mi for a week, I do see him eat and spill out the pellet.. Not sure if it eating. Will monitor bumblebee more closely.

At the start, probably there's still some pods.. But your mandarin may not last long as there's not enuff live rocks to breed enuff pods. Pellets eating mandarins are hard to train. You can try blood worms, I did manage to train mine to eat them until it decided to jump

Thats alot of ls u are keeping in that small tank. I have that same skimmer i used before, its good but personally,..for nano tank just stick to frequent water changes. might want to also consider a nano chiller for your shrimps, they can't survive in a small space in a warm environment. Unless your room is 24/7 aircon there is very high chance of stress for all the ls.

i hope your nano tank success, i gave up on mine 6 months down and upgraded, less time spent on almost

Thanks for the feedback. Will buy pods for the mandarins to eat.. Dun know why he is always stomach big big.. Always swim here and there to eat.. One thing I notice my dottyback purple attack his tail.. Hmm not sure is it hungry or what.. Recent update is my my turbo snail is death and I went to buy another two it is also death... I m sure it not due to the bumble bee snail as he always on the top of the life stone. My water has change 3day to 1 week about 20% change. And from 1.025 salinity I have drop it to 1.023.. Also not working. Both my nassarius and bumble bee is still doing very well..

I also notice that my prawn goby have injury or infection dun know what it is..

Ammonia is at 0. Nitrite is at 0.25 ph is at 8. The rest I Dun have the test kits..
