BIOTA Mandarin Troubles

[JayFish4004]

My Biota mandarin is about year old and doing great. Eats pellets and frozen like a champ. Even comes to the surface to grab pellets when the auto feeder comes on. great little fish.

Second this - I have a pair of Biota mandarins that are thriving in my 20 gallon. They eat mysis from the water column and TDO C1 pellets. I also put a bottle of 5280 pods from AlgaeBarn in every 4 weeks. TDO pellets are by far the best way to get them eating other types of food - you also can’t have aggressive fish in your tank as they will not deal with that type of stress well.

I’m phasing out frozen baby brine - it has done a number on my nitrates as most end up getting caught in filter sponges. If I were you I’d work on getting TDO pellets going long term - I dont think baby brine alone is going to be nutritious enough, but glad it’s eating for ya either way!
