Default I got lucky!!!!

Even better than what all you are thinking.

Was in a store in Edmonton last Tuesday and picked up a skinny Mandarin. I arrived just at feeding time and I was sure I saw her eat some mysis. So I bought her. Got her home acclimated for hours, set her free. Next morning by lights on she had lost most of that sucked up skinny look. By Friday she looked pretty good. Friday night I fed my candy cane some brine soaked in selcon. I was sure I saw the mandarin pick up a BS. Shut the pumps off Saturday and put some BS beside her, took about 1/2 hour but she ate four.
Sunday I tried mysis, ate it up too. Monday and Tuesday same thing. Today when I shut the pumps off it was like ringing a dinner bell, out of the rock she came to a spot where she's been fed before and waited for lunch. This time mysis and cyclops. All foods were soaked with a drop of selcon.

Don't you love this hobby when things go this right?
