Mandarin dragonets

I have bought a few of them that didnt eat prepared food and weaned them onto prep in QT, once thats done there the same as any other fish... If you do not attempt this and try to sustain them on pods they are far harder to maintain.

its one fish i always take a good look at how fat it is before i buy it, some look so thin i stay away, pick a fat one!

As far as frozen foods go, I have had the best luck using Hikari frozen mysis while working with mandarins. It is quite a bit smaller than PE mysis and more substantial than frozen pods/rotifers. It is getting harder and harder to find however. Might have to shop around for it.
