Success getting Mandarin eating frozen

[mbachota]

I have a buddy that bought one from Petland in Athens a couple of weeks ago and he also bought some bloodworms suggested by the staff members. Within a couple of days it was going after the bloodworms and kept this up. I bought one last weekend from the same store and im having the same success as well. It took him a few days as well but he goes after my bloodworms and pe mysis as well. If you want to get a mandarin I would get bloodworms as well. They seem to be getting smarter.

Really...Well, if they are eating PE Mysis, why bother with frozen bloodworms? Just curious...my mandarin was near death when I got 'em...he fat and happy now...

I was always told that variety is important when feeding fish. Why stick to one thing when you can do more?

He likes the bloodworms more. I wish he would go more after the mysis since the nutrition is better in them. I feed brine, mysis, and bloodworms to my fish.
