About the Mandarin, from what I have read he will prefer copepods. Do they grow naturally in a sump? If not, where can I purchase them and how does one propagate them? Are they easily visible to the naked eye?

Could you please post your current tank specs? That will help us determine if these fish were a good purchase.

they also require a good big tank so there is enough area for the pods to sustain their population with such a predator. tank specs and livestock would help greatly. your other livestock are probably pod predators too so you have to take that into account.
