Mandarins...who has a healthy one?

My green mandarin has found enough to eat off the rocks from my year old 120g with about 100lbs of live rock. He just floats around with no fear of any of the much bigger fish and sifts in and out of the rock sticking out his small suction cup-like mouth at whatever looks appetizing.

I bought a bottle of tigger pods from OA. Turned the lights off and dumped in 1/2 bottle in the tank and 1/2 in the fuge. Worked so well my manderin didn't eat frozen dinners ever again.

Maybe they don't 'do it" while you watch...play some barry white get them in the mood

But, reed mariculture the people who supply the pods have or at least had some info on this type of thing on their website.

I bought the tigger pods from OA, and my tank crawls with them now. I dont have a mandarin... yet. In a few months, though!
