I finally got a green mandarin dragonet and the LFS recommended 'trigger pods'. I followed all directions and was told the pods should last about a month. I did add them in TOTAL darkness as not to entice a feeding frenzy and left them in the dark overnight. By morning, sure enough, pods everywhere. Fast foreword about 4 hrs and not a single trace of them. I'm pretty sure my royal gramma cleaned them out. It's been three days and mandarin sure looks emaciated. Any recommendations on feeding that my gramma won't engorge on? I've looked around for brine shrimp but nobody local knows anything about them. Another LFS wanted to sell me more rock infested with an unidentified pod... Any advice? I may end up taking one of the fish back, probably the gramma, if I can't harmonize my tank.
