The BulkReefSupply Brine Shrimp Hatchery

How do you feed the brine shrimp to your mandarin? Mine is very shy and hides if I even approach the glass much less stick a baster in the tank...
Great Question! I also built a feeder. I used an old AquaForest container and some more BRS parts. Here are some pictures!

Great build idea. Is it just me or is that the best Mandarin anyone has ever seen! I can see why you are going to great lengths and efforts to make him happy.
Thanks! I love my mandarin :)
 
Stunning! How do you load at the top of the feeder? Just a hook up to a syringe? My mandarin eats frozen mysis and BBS but I'd like to do something to make it more sporting for him.

I actually got a ketchup dispenser at the dollar store. Works great
