SRC Member MbmC Posted March 16, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 16, 2011 I had a pellet feeding mandarin pair, but the larger one passed on when I moved from my 4ft to my 17" cube. It's 2" mate is still alive and happy and still pellet feeding, so ya, I'd say they exist. I'm expecting to decom sometime soon so if u might be interested, do drop me a PM.

SRC Member poomoon Posted March 16, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 16, 2011 it's not easy, but not impossible ... as i mentioned in my thread, my feeding one was more of an accident. so just for sharing, i recently tried doing a similar method with my green clown goby. first week or so would not eat at all. then he started on tigger pods for about a week. then went to bigger - live brine, which went on for 2 weeks or so. for these i was target feeding both clown gobies using a turkey blaster. after a month, when they see the turkey blaster coming, they start swimming up to the tip to grab live food from it. then i started to soak small pellets, and pump it out the turkey blaster as well. 50/50 success rate. the green clown now eats pellets (for 3 successive days already), while the citron goby still spat it out. last night without the turkey blaster, i dropped soaked pellets, and saw mr green swim out of his nook and eat 4 pellets, then swam back ... success ! i'll be starting on a new mandarin sometime next week on feeding, will keep ya posted ! cross fingers ...

SRC Member poomoon Posted March 16, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 16, 2011 Great! Must be hard work... Where can I buy the turkey blaster? haha just patience bro ... important thing is the thought that you got to save his life by teaching him to eat ! i got mine from RD - Kent Sea Squirt ... it's a little pricey bro, and i had to increase the tip hole size for more flexibility on bigger stuff. you can try to rig one yourself, using a syringe and a balloon stick (try not to steal from kids) i think there was a previous thread which discussed this topic.
