i currently have a purple tang, six line wrasse, and 2 true percula clown fishes. i have added tigger pods(little orange cocopod things), at the advice from my fishstore, and am wondering if anyone has had any luck with them, or if i should steer clear and look into other fish.

Tough fish to keep alive....
"Each specimen of the Green Mandarin Goby is wild caught and exported. Despite their popularity, they are not yet endangered. Though a mated, healthy pair breeds and lays eggs often, cultivating the eggs and raising the fry has not yet been done successfully on the commercial market. If purchasing a small specimen, it is often easier to teach the Green Mandarin Goby to accept prepared foods with patience and work. This fish can fight with same sex in this species. Sadly, this fish normally dies as it is often purchased and kept in under established tanks without enough food to consume. Death from starvation normally occurs within six months."
But with new products out now and diligence making sure they eat, you may do well.

May I ask how big/old your tank?

csingh...
I see your pic is of one, do you keep them successfully?

It's been less than a year so I don't know how successful yet :P They are difficult and it depends on your tank age, pod population, ability to culture pods, and whether or not your mandarin is eating frozen foods

Well if you've made it past the first couple months you should be good.
I'm very aware of how hard it is to keep them. I'm getting ready to re-open a fish store, and I'm planning on specializing in nano reefs, but I won't sell fish that people are gonna kill. I'm very curious about some of the products out there that claim to be good pod supplement...
Thanks

Best of luck to you with opening the fish store! Where are you located? I bet you could make a killing if you cultured your own phyto and pod populations. If my LFS had done that, I would have definitely invested in that rather than reefnutrition's products...
