Have alot.... but how to catch them live? have alot in my reserve water tank.

but every time I catch them with a net or sringe they die. (well they die anyway as the fish eat them) Time consuming to catch as well.

I think what he meant by reserve is that water from another tank, probably he swap water from main tank to reserve tank, vice versa.

Btw if you want to keep a mandarin, you have to set something such that only a few goes up to the main tank at a time, and make sure the mandarin gets to eat it instead of other fishes. Because if you just dump all pods into the tank with the mandarin, they will finish all the pods very very fast. :lol:
