Not really Tony. The pellets always gather in the same corner and the shrimp and female clown eat them. I noticed she was always over there watching but not eating them. So just kept it up and then she started to pick at them. Next time she was right in there gobbling them up. Themale I had in Brandon also loved those pellets. But everything else.

Nice! Was the mandarin eating mysis or any other offered foods in the mean time? I just got a pair of red scooter dragonettes and have them eating frozen mysis right now, maybe I should give pellets a try too.

Nothing, only the bugs they eat. Im hoping she now picks up mysis from the bottom. When I find her a male, I would like it to be eating mysis first.

Pretty pleased here. I picked up a spotted mandarin at J&L. He appeared to be picking at the frozen food there. He's eating frozen mysis and bloodworm for me. So hoping it's just a matter of time until he starts pellets too. Maybe once he's in with the other mandarin and sees her eating pellets he'll get the hint.

Yes, I find thats the best way. They watch others feed and finally figure it out. |
