I've bought 2 mandarins in the past and I'm wonder'n if there is a better way cuz each time they basically end up waste'n away and starve'n to death. I always try to pick one of the bigger healthier looking ones in the tank and I also look for one that is nip'n at the rocks or at least looks like it's try'n to feed.
And I also get a couple bottles of tigger pods and put in about 1/2 a bottle a night every other day till they are empty. But each time they never eat and rarely nip'd at the rocks. And sadley after about 2 months they both died.
As you all know this is a great look'n fish and I would love to be able to keep one for a decent amount of time but with the price of the tigger pods be'n the same price as the Manderin which $20.00. I wouldn't mind so much if I actually saw him eat the tigger pods but that wasn't hapen'n. Soooooo....
I was wonder'n If any of you have any special techniques or advice on what i can do to be able to keep one of these great look'n fish alive long enough to enjoy.
