FS/FT mandarin dragonet EDMONTON

actually BBS is not the best diet for mandarins. They are free swimmers, and don't stay on the rocks where mandarins hunt, unless the BBS are dying. Also not the best for nutritional value unless freshly hatched.

Best choices are copepods, but if you don't have enough, the second best choice are white worms. I have yet to see a mandarin refuse them, they sit on the bottom of the tank and wiggle for a few hours.

After white worms, the mandarin starts weating frozen, and if you are lucky pellets.

That is how we get our new arrivals to eat

Does the selcon enrichment not provide enough nutrition?
Also do you have white worms available? Would like to get some asap?
Copepods as well?

got both fully in stock now.

Copepods are doing great

If you want a RTF (ready to feed) culture of warms, I need 48 hours to prep it.

What would the other option be. (other than ready to feed)
I am not overly familiar with white worms?

[BlueWorldAquatic]

Worms are easy to use, easy to culture.

feed them bread or rice and within 24hours you can just take some out to feed the fish.

btw, I have yet to see any fish not eat the worms. Great protein too

Sounds good to me I'll take some tomorrow if possible. I don't need em ready to feed I'll just culture them at home. I'll take some copepods as well. What time is good tomorrow.

[BlueWorldAquatic]

I'll be in at noon or so, for a few hours.
