TDO Pellet Alternatives for Mandarin Dragonets

[saltyfish24]

Yeah I definitely have to feed heavier to make sure the mandarins get enough to eat. They also don't see out pellets, they only eat the ones they stumble across.

I have a thin black tube in the back corner of the tank. It goes all the way from the surface to just above the sand. I use a pipette to squeeze soaked pellets down into the tube. Then I surface feed the other fish. My mandarin gets to eat the sunk pellets in peace while the other fish eat at the surface. He's trained to look for the pellets falling out of the tube, and he gets every pellet.
