I just saw this on reef tools. looks like you beat me to it brie. This is just too cool. lets hope they dont command an increased price tag thats too bad to go with it.

Very exciting!! I do think they'll be a higher price than wild caught, and deserve to be. But agree with Tom, hope it's not too high.

 

[Faciosity]

That's awesome!! Ever since beginning my reef keeping I have wanted one of these, but but held off in fear for it starving to death.

Very cool!

thanks for the link. so much for waking up early now i wont leave the website!

 

[Shane and John]

Great link...I have always wanted one..But have been just to nervous of keeping one..Even in my 150g established system!

Wowza. That is just to cool. Been a long time coming and I would have to agree that there will probably be a higher price for these guys that eat pellets and frozen foods.

Cheers,
Alex

Wonder if they will have pairs available?

 

[lvsuckerfish]

I don't know but I like the yellow ones hmmmm...... this is good and will save alot of people headaches from training theres to eat pellets or frozen foods. I guess my search for a already trained Mandrin is over imagine that! WOW

 

[Addy23]

I still wouldn't be convinced they'd thrive. I guess it will be a waiting game to find out if they will

Thanks Brie,
This is another guy who has tank raised them and taught them to eat frozen foods. http://en.microcosmaquariumexplorer.com/wiki/Breeding_the_Green_Mandarin
They are such an amazing fish!
I'm thinking I might try the "teach them in the net" idea.

this is awesome,

I had a pair a while back,
they ended up getting bullied by my evil sailfin (now traded in to the LFS)
I'd love to get mandarins again.
