nuj244 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I want also. I want to get a mandarin but want to have a population of pod first? M4rk4nth How come you have in your reserve water. The reserve water is pre-mixed right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mansiz Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think what he meant by reserve is that water from another tank, probably he swap water from main tank to reserve tank, vice versa. Btw if you want to keep a mandarin, you have to set something such that only a few goes up to the main tank at a time, and make sure the mandarin gets to eat it instead of other fishes. Because if you just dump all pods into the tank with the mandarin, they will finish all the pods very very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
