    Mine eats anything small enough to fit in its mouth. Eats nori bits floating by it even.

    I have had one in my 29g biocube for a year now with only a few shrimp, hippo tang and a percula clown. The mandarin loves his brine and mysis mix

    I occasionally buy reef stew from my LFS,(live pods, rotifers,and brine) for my corals. He loves to hunt the pods but, realy loves his frozen blood worms.;D

    very interesting poll results you have over a 60% chance of your mandarin eating something other than copepods

    i would be interested to know if the sex of the fish makes any difference. Are most of these males?
