    Not all mandarins will eat prepared foods.


    I use ocean pods and like them a lot. 3 different strains and about 1000 in a bottle. Purchased from livecopepods.com and only a few carcasses on the bottom of the bottle. Photo shows what looks like algae on the bottom, but it is actually some fake easter basket grass.

    i've had 3 dragonets and they all ate enriched hikari frozen blood worms within days of being in quarantine. they also eat frozen and live brine shrimp. other things to try are nutramar ova, fish eggs, oyster eggs, decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, frozen baby brine shrimp. u have to feed them every few hours cause they constantly eat.

    he must mean the frozen cyclop-eeze that is expensive and very nutritious from that famous company.

    Hey good luck charlie...
    I also have rsm130...
    I am begining to put together a mini fuge in the back of mine, i run the tunze9002 and media rack... That leaves me some room back there to shove a ball of cheato that i plan to light with a small led lamp...
    I am hoping to cultavate some pod population as well as export nutrients.
