So I stopped in at a LFS today and they had two beautiful Blue Mandarins. I've wanted one of these since long before I set up my tank but due to how difficult it is to get them to eat frozen food I never got one. The girl working at the time didn't know much about them so out of curiosity I asked her to feed them. Shockingly they both ate a number of bites. It wasn't much but none of the other fish in the tanks ate much either. She speculated that someone else probably feed the tanks recently.
So my head is telling me it's a bad idea but I did see them eat. I know they love copepods (sp?) but I don't have a sump and can't sustain them.
Has anyone ever successfully kept a Mandarin in our tanks?
