[Sad day] My ORA Mandarin - Progress Log

I guess it is better you then somebody else. It could be the stress from being shipped that prevented her from eating. Good luck with it.

 

Well she made an appearance! She is really so cute. She looks like a cartoon character. I've named her Mandy.

 

Awesome KC, I wish you luck with Mandy look forward to getting an ORA mandarin myself

 

aww mandy... how cute.
the one at my LFS today was sitting there with some sinking pellets right beside it and it was not interested one bit in them... ORA better not be pulling our legs on this one

 

Yeah I have heard this. I've seen video of the babies eating prepared food, so I know they are taking it at ORA! Just a matter of getting them to take it elsewhere.

 

Well Mandy just made a brief, but very cute, appearance. I threw some pellets in and she seemed interested. She didn't eat any, but she perked up and watched them. So I think that's good!

 

How about targeting some mysis shrimp near it?

 

try adding selcon or something like it on the pellet mine snubs pellet without it. soo it might help you kc

 

That's my next plan. I may start with brine, as I've heard more success with mandarins eating brine. But I will try mysis and brine tonight. Just hope I can find her at dinner time!

 

Thanks. I will soak anything I try to feed tonight.
