ORA captive bred Mandarins at Global Pet Expo in Orlando
Posted on Friday, March 26th, 2010 at 3:14 pm by Reef ToolsEarlier this week we reported that ORA is preparing to release their captive-bred Mandarins. Well, we had a chance to look at them this week at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando. The ORA captive-bred mandarins looked plump and happy, swimming around the ORA reef tanks. A few photos show off the ORA Pearlberry, ORA Hawkins Blue, and a few of the newer releases like the Green Wooly and the Purple Stylophora.
Again, we would like to emphasize that the advantages of buying a captive-bred Mandarin. Being that these species will be accustomed to eating frozen food, keeping a healthy well-fed fish will be much easier, and the rate of successful rearing should increase. We will report a few more details in a soon-to-come article.
