Mandarin and frozen food
« on: May 10, 2009, 07:16:13 PM »
I have quite a fat mandarin I got recently and right away he was eating pods and living large. This morning during the seahorse feeding I noticed him "perk" up when the brine hit the water! He was hurrying to find whatever landed on the rocks and got trapped in the sand. I officially have a mandarin eating frozen foods and will more than likely use this one to do a mandarin in a nano at some point.

I'm not holding my breath, but judging from the pods at night I'm still in good shape as far as food population. TBH I feed so sparingly, the Mandarin has little time to mull over the menu given the other fish eating so quickly.

Hoss, I had the same thing happen to me. As of about 5 months ago, my mandarin goes after prepared food just like the rest of the fish in the tank. I think it was frozen cyclops that brought him over. After seeing this, I feel comfortable with the tank being able to support a mate for him. Now I just actually have to find a female mandarin...

Im hearing it more and more about mandarins eating frozen and I think its a huge misnomer that they are so hard to keep. I think you just have to have the experience enough to know what to offer them. Congrats its great to hear it happens more
