    Does anyone have experience keeping Green Mandarins? I have an abundance of copepods, but I'm curious as to their tolerance of ich and other parasites?

    How big is your tank, how much LR do you have, and how long has it been set up? These puppies eat a LOT more than most people realize. Mandarins are less susceptible to ich than most species.

    I agree with the above post..I had a HUGE stock of pods and i got a manderin a while ago and in about a month, i rarely saw any, and he was not as fat as he was..

    Not just the amount of LR, size of tank and other stuff..You probably are going to want a fuge to cultivate pods.
