Matt Pedersen describes a great way to train Mandarins to eat frozen brine shrimp in the Nov/Dec 2011 CORAL magazine. If you don't have it, you can order back issues on their website. I've used Matt P's method once and it worked well, I just found using my messy 10 gallon temp tank is easier.
thanks and i agree that will be something i'll incorporate into my tank. and i will deffinitely be checking it out
