The list doesn't look bad at all...but you can get a mandarin to eat frozen / pellet foods and it still could very well be starving itself because they graze on copepods all day long...

just some unsolicited advice...and the reason I haven't purchased one for my tank quite yet.
trust me man, this guy is gona come to my tank in maby...5-6 months.. i am only stocking my tank with copepods at the moment, so when he does get here, he will be fat and healthy
