So I know that mandarins eat copepods but Ive been feeding Arcti pods lots and was wondering if this copepod in a bottle would be a good long term food source along with pellets, frozen, and the copepods it can find

I want to feed mine a good supplement to cope pods cause I feed other things tooi was feeding mine tigger pods after he wiped out every pod in my tank in a couple of days.... and came to the realization that i was spending 20 dollars a week to keep a 20 dollar fish alive
While the dead copepods in Arcti-Pods are a good food source for manadarins, it's wise to have live copepods in the tank so that the fish has a consistent food source. You can also get mandarins to eat our TDO Chroma BOOST pellets. Most people use TDO Small for mandarins that are at least an inch long.So I know that mandarins eat copepods but Ive been feeding Arcti pods lots and was wondering if this copepod in a bottle would be a good long term food source along with pellets, frozen, and the copepods it can find

Some very good recommendations in this thread. We always recommend a large tank, >55 gallons, with plenty of rock for the pods to colonize. I have a captive-bred, Biota mandarin that does quite well in our 55 gallon tank. In addition to eating our Apex-Pods, which have populated the tank nicely, it also goes after our TDO Small on a daily basis. It's also a good idea to exclude other pods eaters like wrasses.
Hope this helps.
Best,

Mines trained on frozen, pellets, live, and homemade foods now. I just want to feed other things toostart training your mandarin to take frozen.
I just saw my mandarins ate frozen bloodworm last night. Been trying to feed them for a week now.
Just make sure you have enough pods during this training period.

That's a tough one to answer since people's fish consume food at different rates. However, I recommend starting off with no more than like 1/8 of a TSP, or a few drops at first. You can increase the dose over time.how much tigger Feast should I add each feeding?
