Mandarin Dragonet thin or alright?

[Bfishing]

Hey guys! I’ve had this girl for 2 months now. To my understanding she is wild caught, but she will eat almost anything I give her (mysis, enriched brine, pellets, frozen pods) I try to feed her twice a day at least, and she will typically eat around 10 mysis or frozen brine in one sitting. She eats straight from the pipette haha. I do keep lots of macroalgae for pods as well. Does she look like she’s keeping weight on? Would she have lost weight by now if I wasn’t keeping up? I have a hard time being able to tell through her patterns and coloring.







Sorry if the pics aren’t the best quality, she won’t sit still ‍

She looks good. Seems like shes getting enough to eat.

Looking good and sustainable. Not skinny like we sometimes see going into these threads. I personally would prefer to see a little thicker around the mid section. I’m thinking of mine for comparison but maybe mines just fat. I get paranoid with these little critters not getting enough so I’m always ordering more pods to supplement the pop. Actually just got done placing another order 5 min ago.

Sorry it took a minute to get back to you. It’s super rare for me to get photos or videos of my mandarin. I swear as soon as I pull out my phone it’s gone every time. Tonight I was able to get a short video shot kinda far from the tank as the lights were going down. Sorry it’s blue and maybe not the best video, however you can tell the full/roundness of my mandarin.

I hope this helps, if I can get better photos/videos under good light I absolutely will!
