ya not a good reason to keep them, they are very beautiful fish with special needs to thrive. bottled pods will only get you so far as they eat constantly. if you buy a bottle every week or two you may be able to keep them alive. look at there stomachs a healthy mandarin will have a full looking stomach, if they are not getting enough food the stomach will look caved in. they also will sometime a take to a food called ova, this can be thawed out and squirted on them. if they like it they will pick at it. good luck
