I agree with this one.
If you really love Mandarin like me, you will most likely prepare to commit to it like commit to having a child lol.

I seeded my tank 3 months before i got the mandarin. After I got them, I still check on my pod level and the moment I couldn't see any obvious pod population on my glass (chances they are still there just lower population), I will buy and reseed them.

I had the experience having them start to go after some frozen food after a while, but it is always a hit and miss
