No guarantee they will do any better. I had talked to a local LFS that brought them in once from ORA I "think" and they said they would never again.
Thanks paddy. The green spotted that I linked was from ORA also. Maybe I will just try my hand at a wild caught one as I feel they would do fine in my copepod filled tank anyways if I had trouble getting them to eat prepared foods. Any tips on where I could purchase a mandarin then period, tank raised or not?
