Getting a tank bred mandarin does not guarantee that it will eat prepared foods. I just bought an ORA blue one and have spent the last month or so trying to get it off of pods and eating prepared frozen food. Luckily I have a refugium and a healthy pod population or else she wouldn't have made it I'm sure.

+1. Not about having one. About them reverting back to pods. If the ORAs really were fully on prepared foods, then they would be the most popular fish ever.

arent they already?

Yeah, kinda, considering how many of them die each year I guess it is a popular fish. Sad. so beautiful but so hard to raise. I watch my mandy every day and am so glad I had some luck with her.

At the beginning, the ORA ones are on prepared foods. BUT the ORA ones are known to start only eating pods randomly.

 

[kurtyboh]

no i was meaning the most popular fish.

i must be a very lucky boy as mine started to eat frozen misis brine shrimp and rotifiers.

 

[carey]

You must be. Thats' pretty lucky. For the "lucky" ones there are probably 20 or more who have tried unsuccessfully to keep one. We don't hear their stories on here often, as I would imagine no one wants to broadcast when one dies. :-(

I think occelaris clowns are the most popular fish, just going by the amount my LFS gets per shipment.
