I have a male/female pair of green spotted mandarin in my 100 gallon reef. My male has been thriving for 3 years... the female is a new addition 2-3 months. I am using the Paul B feeding method. I hatch baby brine shrimp (BBS)every 2 - 3 days and add to a feeder that is covered with nylon and place in my tank. The mandarins hover at the feeder and eat the BBS. Here is my dilemna... the BBS are dying in the feeder? I am using nylons and I see some get out so I don't think the holes are to small for them to get out? I think the issue is that the BBS swim down.. and the opening of the nylons is at the top of the container. I have started to place the feeder upside down.... as in the nylons are at the bottom suspended between rocks. BUT the mandarins can't sit on it now.
Suggestions? if BBS always swim down.. how does the feeder work? I am sure I need to supplement the diet of the mandarins with two in the tank and the female is tiny... any advice is appreciated. No mating spotted yet.
