How much of Live Rocks (LR) do you have in your tank? Do you have a refugium?

Unless you can get your Mandarin to feed, it'll eat exclusively pods and soon decimate it if there isn't enough LR to maintain a decent pod population.

Do keep that in mind :huh:

In any case, how else to encourage reproduction but providing an abundance of food?

Try adding modest amount of DT Live Phytoplankton to at least provide for the plankton feeding pods, and monitor population growth. Progress

I would not recommend dead phyto as many tend to overdose and pollute the waters.

From the looks of it ... tough, with the amount of LR you got ;)

Besides, even with feeding, some pods must survive the Mandarin to reproduce.

Thing is, other organisms in the tank feeds on pods as well ... so depending on your stocking, which I hope you are aware of the limits in a nano, its survivability (pods & mandarin) does not seem so good.

Call me cautious, but I do not like to see fishes die because one cannot provide for it :nc:

Mandarins are notoriously difficult to wean off live food.

If you are bent on keeping a Mandarin, your best chance is to get a feeding one, even so, being such a slow swimmer, it may not outcompete the other fishes (if you have any)

The amount of LR to help sustain a decent pod population is highly subjective, in short, the more the merrier. Besides, I don't think your 15 gallon can hold too much rocks.

Capisca?
