With mandarin breeding the hard part isn't getting the eggs to hatch. Its providing food that the fry can eat that will keep them alive long enough to fully form. It has been done by over at MOFIB (Marine Ornamental Fish and Invert Breeders) but Witt (Matthew L. Wittenrich) was using "wild caught plankton." When he suceeded (last year) he didn't know for sure which components of the palnkton the fry were actually eating. That may have changed since then though.
