Worms coming out of no where after dosing copepods?!!!

see i was thinking that way...its happy but i dose everyday and well well established a month prior...its only a 12g all in one...for now

I hope you are able to keep him fat and happy. That is a TINY tank for a mandarin and being an AIO, there is VERY little room for copepods to populate. Try training it to live brine and then to frozen brine and finally frozen mysis. This can help save you A LOT on feedings. It can take a good while, but is well worth it IMO.

Hard to say. Let your mandarin tell you how many. Order what you think you may need and watch. If it starts to get even a little skinny, double your order. Keep him fat and you know you are good. They get skinny really fast when under fed.
