I agree on the target feeding... they swim extremely slow, and generally won't rush out and chase after the food. but, it is possible to train them to eat frozen foods. I even heard that some are train to eat pellets.
with the 2nd mandarin I bought from king ed, I squirt some blood worm and brine shrimp during acclimating(feeding time in the main tank), and guess what, it took the blood worm.
so, it's more than possible to keep these fish even in a nano tank.
