Looking good Jim. I too like the Mandarins, but lack the food source that they really need.

I have a mandarin like yours too. I buy bottles of tigger pods or you can get copepods. I put a bottle in my sump and a bottle in the tank. I do this about every 3 or 4 months. The main reef forum has a special forum devoted to mandarins. It has people who have trained their mandarin to eat mysis or brine shrimp.

Doris, have you ever noticed your mandarin eating the prepared foods you feed your fish? i had one that would eat cyclopezee and pellets along with picking at the rocks all day...

Lisa I havent noticed mine eating any food I put in there but he may be because he is really fat.
