Well I guess if you're going to dose pods every time you feed flake it's not that big of a deal. Just don't see that happening though.
Keep in mind a mandarin is about like a hummingbird. They eat constantly.
You don't have to worry about it though if the 6 line is gone. _________ Kris

I don't think they would need to be added every other day, but your dosing with a sixline and mandarin in a 29g so you would know more about how often it is needed... but like you said I doubt I have anything to worry about now cause I haven't seen him in over a week! Oh well, corals are doin great!! You were right, I enjoy the corals more than the fish now! | |

Yea after having a mandarin in QT for a few months now I'd never do it again. Should have just hooked you up when you wanted him. I know I've spent over $100 on pods for the QT alone and he's still WAY too skinny.
I'm with you on the corals though. They're much more interesting. | |

Scott, what happened to your Mandarin? Kogle said he got skinny and died, mine is looking real skinny and so is Ogles, I was just wonderin the story and see if there is anything I can watch for/or do to help things out. I hope he is just having a long adjustment period...  He acts healthy just doesn't look it... | |

I can actually tell where mine has put on some weight in the past 2 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. | |
