Thank you. Long ago my first tank was a 20 Gl, in Winnipeg. Even knowing that the LFS happily sold me the Mandarin. We were very sad to have to take Kermit back when he started to starve. Even after trying brine shrimp and frozen shrimp. Now, I am older, wiser, and can afford the expensive books to do more research.

Does that mean I should stay away from the cleaner shrimp so the Mandarin does not have competition for it's food supply? Or will the cleaners eat frozen food before they go after the local critters?
