Which won't do any good if your mandarin is present to eat all the pods befor they complete their reproductive/life cycle.

It's almost impossible to get a good pod population in a tank that already has a mandarin unless it is a HUGE system.

your best bet is to continuously add pods from the bottle...
or you can set up an add on fuge like an aquaclear or something similar as an outside pod breeding ground that you mandy cannot get at.
