Well.... I have took the time to buy a sample of everything available in my area and you now can add me to the list of people that believe that the WILD CAUGHT mandarins will only eat live copepods....
The list of things that did not work were
1. Frozen Mysis
2. Frozen brine
3. Frozen krill
4. Blood worms
This is simply not true. I have only ever bought wild caught mandarins and they can all be trained to eat frozen.
That's too bad, but at least you tried. They surely were going to die at the LFS. You gave the little guys a chance to live.
Well please if you can show yours eating the frozen and how you feed...it would truly help mandys lovers alot.....thanks for sharingThis is simply not true. I have only ever bought wild caught mandarins and they can all be trained to eat frozen.
try white worms, can order cultures on ebay. Mine love them.
I have to agree, I've only met one that couldn't be trained an that goes for WC pipefish and scooters as well.
The other day was my first attempt feeding white worms to a marine tank. I used to culture them for breeding fish in my 75gal planted tank. The fish loved them and much cleaner than frozen foods. Many marine breeders swear by black and white worms. White worms being smaller and easier to culture. Wish I knew about them back when I was originally doing salt tanks.so you swear by these huh.... ya I would try these in a mandy ONLY TANK....but not my main display....I really want to see yours chopping on these lol....
My fish love black worms and they are much cleaner in the tank.
Cool but I would like to stay fosse on mandys diet not the other fish....The other day was my first attempt feeding white worms to a marine tank.

I have a 225g so pods aren't really a problem, I recently added some from Algae barn but I also feed the pods with Reef Bugs twice a week. I've had mine over a year.
Both , I just got one and I have pods but he's taking black worms from the turkey baster like my others fish.FISH AS IN MANDYS? OR JUST FISH?
