I started keeping saltwater fish tanks specifically to have a mandarin fish. I have had success with one mandarin fish who lived in my 50 gallon FOWLR for 3 - 4 years. Two other Mandarin fish did not live more then 2months. I want to try again but before I start I want to ensure I am providing an environment where he can definitely live.
