Aww she is a cute little fatty!They don’t care about clowns,
They don’t seem to care about any fish.
They do care about PODS, and your talking about 500-1000 per day.
So if you seed, first check the ACTUAL count in your bottle, you want to make sure that the actual count is in fact in the thousands and not just dump the bottle. Some sources say 5000 in bottle, Maybe not so many, always check.
Feeding Mandy by the bottle is quite expensive.
Naturally occurring PODS is best, cheapest, most successful for mandys.
Easiest fish to keep, went correct environment is provided, die in months otherwise.
May be some exceptions.....but not likely the rule..
I have not been very lucky with captives, max was always under a year, so I suspect lack of food thing.
30 years keeping them
Below has been in my DT 4 years now, a wild caught and spotted.
