Just brought a black and red scooter myself, I wanted a mandarin but wanted to go a different route to many. Helpful video to many newbies 👌

Thanks Matt

The scooters are jumpers, one even got through the my tank cover.

@@jules2545 not heard that before, @NorfolkReefer I imagine you have a lid with your Wrasse but just to be sure.

[@jules2545]

@@theeastcoastreefer I have had three of them in my 300l tank, the first one jumped before I got a jump guard, the other two got through the netting. They were in the tank for a while and I thought they had settled in?

[@theeastcoastreefer]

@@jules2545 Oh no! what size space did they fit out of

[@amilie15]

What size is your tank and what other fish do you have in there? I doubt I’ll get one for some time but enjoying the research on mandarins all the same. Beautiful fish!

[@theeastcoastreefer]

My tank is a Reefer 250 (bizarrely 244L) I have 2 clownfish, 2 firefish, a flame hawkfish, a one spot foxface, 2 banggai cardinals, a yellow watchman goby, a royal gramma and the mandarin. I do love the Mandarin it is a really beautiful fish!

[@jaysrealreefuk]

How do you find the Royal Gramma with your other fish? Thanks 👍

[@jhaych]

They're super peaceful, rock dwellers so may get funny if somebody goes into their cave

[@theeastcoastreefer]

Hi Jay, I've had 2 Gramma's, the first one was aggressive, not overly but to the point where it had a go at my foxface and lost, the next gramma that I have now, is so placid! I think the trick is to add it last, the first gramma was the 3rd fish I got.

Thank you mate 🙂 ​@@jhaych

​Thank you mate 👍....well that could work as it would be the final fish.

[@theeastcoastreefer]

@@jaysrealreefuk you could always get a bigger tank 🙂
