Mandarin dragonet score

[Baker91]

I've been wanting to get a mandarin for a few years now but have held off because of the care level and food requirements. I finally broke down and bought one a few days ago. He acclimated fine and immediately started looking for pods. I noticed when I fed brine he was eating some so I put him a little pile in the corner and he devoured them this is awesome to me since all I've been told and read says they're very hard to get to eat frozen. Just wanted to share this w y'all.

Awesome!
one of my favorite fish been afraid to purchase one without a sustainable cope pod population and haven't found one locally that's already eating frozen.

I have a good pop of pods and have some ordered for it but I was amazed that it ate the frozen. It won't get any out of the water Colum but if I pile some up on a rock it has no problem eating.
