Ouch. I would have seeded ur tank with copepods first then a couple of months later I would of picked up those mandarines. Just pick up a bottle of tiger copepods. Those guys breed at a high rate which will provide plenty of food for the mandarins. Living proof with my wife reef and my tank as well.

Are you referring to Tigger pods? I've read different things on these, but the majority state that they won't breed in our 70 something degree tanks. The consensus is that they prefer much colder water to breed. Just a thought.

forgot to mention i had added pods a few months ago. just wanted to add some additional to make sure that there was an adequate food supply.

Yeah tigger pods and they do breed. My tank is living proof. When I initially started my reef tank i had no copepods. Bought a bottle of tigger pods and now I have thousands of them in one of my setups. Also I have some large suckers that I seen from time to time. My mandarin is super fat so he is a happy camper. Also a couple of months back I seeded another setup I have and now my glass gets covered with baby pods all the time. Both my tanks run at 76 degrees. As long as u have areas where they could reproduce while being undisturbed they will populate.

I have also had pretty good luck with the tigger pods.
