My first mandarin is by far the most expensive fish that I have ever owned. My second one cost me less than $20. Lessons learned I guess.
There are a couple of questions that you need to ask yourself.
1. If you end up with a Mandarin that you can't train, are you willing/able to sustain him on pods?
2. If you do manage to train him, you will still need to target feed him. Do you have the time for this?
I trained both my Mandarins to eat frozen food, but in the end I just left them to fend for themselves. Ive had the first one for a couple of years and the second one for a couple of months. There are more than enough pods in my tank for both of them.
