Mandarins have a couple of requirements one of which are pods. You cannot depend thant they will turn to dead food for
A larger tank is also needed so they do not devour them quickly and than starve.
Lastly they require a mature tank that has been going for 6 months and up.\
I would recommend your setting up a small 10 gallon tank with some sand and fresh rock which is likely to have pods in them.
Than feed phytoplankton heavily


After heavy feeding and a couple of months transfer everything to main tank to jump start pod production in the main tank.
You can than use the 10 gallon as a QT.
Tiggers IME are a waste of money.
Thanks for asking before you bought the mandarins
