Neat video. Glad to see her eating. How many times a day do you feed her?

One of the reasons that mandarins are are so difficult to keep is because they have a super high metabolism and need to basically constantly eat throughout the day. You can buy captive bred mandarins that will eat pellets and/or frozen but unless you are feeding them every hour they still need a high population of pods to be grazing on all day.

I feed her 3 times a day now...she seems to be thickening up since I've gotten her. I knew it was going to be a challenge but once the 60g is completed she'll be moving over. I couldn't help but take her...she wouldn't have survived much longer in the system she was in.
