got my mandarine feed

[rabadanmarco]

i cant beleive it...eating brine from a dropper...i noticed that he would occasionaly pick at brine when i fed all my kritters...so i bought a large dropper from analytical science off 1604 and bandera and squirted some brine torwards him...swam away the first few days...but last night he actualy went up to the tip of the dropper and was straight up eating out of it.

ill see if i can get some video up

great! now gradually switch it over to mysis. start with mostly brine and a little mysis and gradually change the amounts of each until you are just feeding mysis. they are much more nutritious than brine. you could also add in blood worms to increase the nutritional value.

Congrats Marco,

That's was always hit or miss for me. I had a pair that started fighting so I had to break them up. My friend got one and would feed his with an eye dropper and it lived many more years. Mine woudn't touch it and slowly wasted away. Still wish the lfs would stop carrying these guys or jack up the price so high as to keep new hobbyists from purchasing them.
