Aquapod Rebuild

[Bevobud@hotmail.com]

I was going to rebuild my 24 Aquapod as the title implies, just asking for some ideas. Well first i was going to fill it with different types of Macro and fill it with copepods, so that i could have a good enviorment for a pair of blue mandarins i plan on getting. I would like to add maybe one or two other fish any suggestions?

Nanotuners.com has a awsome kit for your Aquapod. It allows your pod to have 4 pc, upgraded fans and an R2 Moonlight option that would make your pod 144w total. It is nanocustoms 4.36. It would make your Aquapod BAD!!!!!

But, i was looking for more of suggestions for tank mates.

A pair of mandarines wont last long in a small tank, unless you buy them eating frozen food, which is rare. You might be able to train them, but I wouldnt bet on it. I think a clown tank with a showcase anemone make awesome nanos.

i agree with hamp, even if the aquapod is crawling with copepods, i don't think the population would be sustainable with a mandarin or two grazing on them all day. the anemone/clown is a good luck, i've also seen some very nice ricordia tanks.

alright. as for the clowns what is a not too often seen species

ORA "Necked/stripe-less" clowns are not often seen. AquaTek has four of them for $40 each.

I am into the onyx clowns myself, but they are all cool fish.

picasso clowns look cool and are rarely seen, i'm pretty sure ORA is breeding them.

Will you mod the filtering?

Id 'get a picasso pair, you need at least 75lbs of lr per mandarin for copepods, unless you dose your tank with copepods regularly I wouldnt put one, much less 2, mandarins in a tank that small. Although, ppl have had sucess with a single mandarin in a nano size tank, I havnt heard of any long term sucess.

Whatever you decide though, good luck. :)
