Mandarin Dragonet

[MrHandkerchief]

Hello everyone

I have a mandarin dragonet in a FOWLR tank. I used to have alot of pods crawling all around the rocks but now they are all but gone. I tried frozen brine shrimps and then frozen copepods. But still, it wont eat. It just kept pecking at the rocks and is getting thinner by the day. It is very thin now. Anyone here has a recommendation for its food and where can I purchase it? (Urgent)

Thank you.

Hi bro, new trio sells live pods but not always available, you'll have to call and check. I think LCK201 also has too but I'm not sure

You can feed live brine shrimps. If you are one the west side, C328 typically has shipment of it on Mon,Tues-Friday around 5.30pm.

Better buy livepods to feed it fast.. LCK sells them.

You may want to try flooding your tank with fine pellet food.

If u had pods before, it is unlikely the mandarin cld hv eaten them all. Unless u have wrasses as well - they can wipe out entire pop. Mandarins typically do well in older tanks (over 6mths) with sand and live rocks. Mine has been with me for a year now.
