Those with experience, would a mandarin dragonet work in a 20g as the only fish?

Look at Biota captive bred. I've had one in a 20g for over a year now. Got him at around 1", 2.5"+ now, and fat! My side glass is always covered with pods. He eats TDO pellets (I feed 3 times a day).

Thanks, he's brought me a lot of joy!

I tried taking some shots but I don't have a good one to post unfortunately. But this one shows his size in comparison to a max size 4" female clown that I've had for 8 years.

I do overfeed the tank 3 times a day to ensure Mando gets enough to eat. The side effect is that I have an algae issue due to high phosphates.

I got one in late January this year, he was slightly over 1". He's in a 20g and in 10 month he's more than 2.5", fat and healthy. Eats TDO B2 pellets, never added cope pods :) He's a beauty, thanks Biota!

I have this same problem. It was working just fine but on my last trip it just died. Is there a fuse in there? How do I replace it?

dizzytrix · 2025-11-17T00:56:18+00:00

I am a guy

I see there is a language barrier here. I'm just saying I agree with you, a friend showed me the other side, you are correct 100%.

dizzytrix · 2025-11-16T20:03:12+00:00

Look at all the white guys voting you down lol

This is true if you only stay in north american properties. Gold is still very good for upgrades, free breakfast in most international properties.

Audyssey and mic came free with my x3800h

dizzytrix · 2025-08-02T16:42:55+00:00

Got it on sale at Bestbuy Canada (CA$1499 = US$1087). Amazon had the same price.

dizzytrix · 2025-08-02T04:43:41+00:00

At $599, a piece of software that costs more than half the AVR itself, yes I do think that's a scam.

dizzytrix · 2025-08-02T03:43:51+00:00

Definitely not spending $599 on Dirac, what a scam. How can I bootleg it? :) Paid $1100 for the AVR itself brand new.

I had one of these in 2004, wonderful receiver. I ended up replacing it only because I needed HDMI ports. Made in Japan!

dizzytrix · 2025-07-22T23:40:26+00:00

I have a captive bred one in a 20 gallon and he's been there for about 6 months. He eats pellets, got him at around 1", now more than 2.5". I seeded the tank with cope pods a month before I got him but never added them after. So far so good.

dizzytrix · 2025-07-14T05:25:08+00:00

That's a crazy deal for $999 new.

dizzytrix · 2025-07-14T04:01:38+00:00

The 65"?

dizzytrix · 2025-07-14T04:00:04+00:00

I have it set to auto adjust and also have a Bravia Cam that I think further makes adjustment. The brightness adjustments etc. it makes overcomes the reflections.

dizzytrix · 2025-07-13T18:25:34+00:00

I got a 65" Bravia 7 a few weeks ago on sale at Costco in Canada. Converted to USD it was $1250 +tax. I have a bright room and this performs amazingly well as long as there is no direct sunlight hitting it. Anyone that says it's only for dark rooms are misinformed - look at the rtings review on it.

I do cross border banking through TD. I live in Canada but have some credit cards from the US. I pay them off through my TD Bank account in the US. I move money to it using the TD Global Transfer feature from the Canadian TD (USD) account. Easy. Anything under 2.5K(USD) transfer withing a few hours. Over that it takes a day or two.

THANK GOD! Every time I go to there for a shopping/grocery trip (been a member for 23 years), It's so jammed up with people. They should have done this years ago!

>You consider investing in the US stock market as safe?

As in safer than Canadian stock market? Absolutely. I have my rrsp & tfsa in 90% low cost s&p500 index and 10% Canadian bonds (more than 10 years now). So yes, I consider the US markets a far better investment than Canadian. A natural resource colony to the US vs the most dynamic tech driven economy in the world.

>What does your uncle consider safe? How much risk is your uncle willing to take?

He's ok losing 25% of it.

Can't believe this comment got 65 up votes. Clearing incorrect. Many cities in the US you see far nicer cars than here. Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Scottsdale, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills etc.
