Introducing Captive Bred Baby Mandarin Dragonet and Feeding Challenges | Blue Reef Tank

In this video, I am going to reveal one of my dream fish - A Captive Bred Mandarin Dragonet. Many reefers have had issues keeping this fish because of its strict dietary requirements, especially the wild-caught ones. I chose to go for a captive-bred mandarin, hoping that it would be easier to keep. I was not wrong. Although I struggled to feed him frozen food in the beginning, he started to accept frozen brine shrimp around week 3. I am so glad that it worked out well.
