    So every afternoon my mandarin comes up to the top of my 75 in the front right corner where i feed my fish every morning. So i figured what the heck y not try some nutramar ova. The first few days nothing. Well today i said screw it and used my baster to "shoot" the food right at his face. Luckily one of the pieces got caught on his mouth and he ate it! Then he started pecking at the tube of the baster because it is clear and i think he could see the food inside. So i started slowly dropping it onto of my float magnet to give it a base to collect on and he started eating it off the float magnet! woohoo! i am so excited! was so easy 2! once the one piece got in his mouth i think he realized it was food and started going after it :)

    he is also a pretty big boy :) lol
