Hi all, is there a thread on here anyone could point me to that is bustling with mandarin info? I had planned a long time to get one so read about training etc but I still want more information now that I have one.
In the LFS I saw him eat frozen food, he even swam up to eat it as it went in and the guy didn't have to use a pipette. I'm struggling though, he seems happy and healthy and I often see him pecking at the rock and he's all over the tank so not shy. I've tried mixing in a little tub some gamma liquid food (Copepods etc) with some frozen food and cyclopeeze, tried this with the lights on and off and with/without a pipette and with flow on and off. I also tried putting some on the rocks for him to find later. He sometimes nips at some of the things but looks to spit it out mainly. As I say he was eating just fine in the shop. Will be a shame to lose him but he still looks healthy at the moment to me
Thanks
