[The female mandarin belly looks way too full. I don't think she is full. Eggs?

[Congrats! I wish I still had my pair, but they fought.
Anyway, are you going to attempt to raise the babies?
I don't think it has been done in captive before, it would be an awesome experiement. need rotifers I think.
if you do catch the babies and are not interested in raising them, would you let me know? I would like to try to raise them.]

Imagine that. Obviously you didn't get enough release forms signed.

[I'm just trying to feed both of them with live brine shrimp. If the eggs (and then babies) are not consumed by the other fish, _and_ I know where they are, I'll try to catch them and put them in the refugium. Then I'll figure out what to do next.

I'm afraid they'll become fish food before I can intervene.]

[I haven't seen the male mandarin for 2 days now. The female still looks the same. Don't know if he's gone (dead) or staking out some where between the rocks.

I hope he's doing alright...]
