My new additions!!
I'm a very happy camper. I went up to a pet store I almost never shop at, just to look around and see how their stuff has come along. I saw they had a couple of blue psychedelic madarin dragonettes in. I was watching them and noticed one was a male, one was a female...still doesn't guarantee they'll be friendly with madarins. So I ask the guy if they were a pair, to which he said they came in separately. I watched them for over an hour and came to the conclusion that they feel in love at the pet store. The male kept swimming up to the female and sitting right next to her, almost protecting her from the other things in the tank. He gave me a good deal and they came home in the same bag. They are totally complacent with one another and they did not so much as act up on the way home. They are now in my tank and look very happy. They swim together and hang out with each other. Very rare in such a finicky fish as the madarin. Guess I just lucked out. I'm still trying to get a good shot of them and I'll post pics. I know there's a recommended size for pics, what was it again? Does RCF have any software to convert to size when uploading to the gallery or anything, or should I just use personal software?

Good luck with them.

congrats. I was seriously thinking about mandarins but went with a sleeper gobie instead. I have a great 'pod supply in my 72 with 5 year old DSB. I was still a little shy about the mandarins long term depleting my 'pod supply.
Congrats and good luck.

Well, I have flatworms, and they will eat those if the pod supply is ever low(not the best substitute, but...). I also am going to add Ocean pods to boost them once a month or so. Once I get the other tank cleaned, I'm going to attempt algae and cope propon a constant level for all my tanks to get healthier.
I have a couple semi-decent pictures...I'll post them in a minute.

Are they tiny or is that xenia stalk related to a redwood?
