We put live copepods that regenerate....
Ok so i checked and we have exactly 56 lbs of live rock. Is that really not enough?
Those tiny specks on the glass are a type of isopods. I'm assuming these are the ones you speak of-
See the asterina starfish for size reference-
I don't understand how people say they "train" dragonets to eat prepared foods, when all you can do is toss in food and hope for the best. I've sold a lot of mandarins and I've never seen them mimic the behavior of other tank mates. This is most certainly rare.
Folks used to say 100 pounds of rock per mandarin, to be sure they will not run out of food. As I said earlier, It could take months for them to starve.
