Today my new baby female mandarin joined my existing male mandarin at my hand made mandarin feeding station! Success!!

I had kept my baby mandarin in QT trying to teach her to feed out of the mandarin feeder with out competition of other fish.. No such luck... I put her in the DT hoping that she would learn from the existing male mandarin who already knew to eat at the feeding station. It has taken 3 weeks for her to figure out that the feeder has lots of yummy newly hatched brine shrimp waiting for her!

Now I wonder how long it will take if ever.. for these two to start mating? I figure the female is pretty tiny so it might be a while...
