The Mandarin looks like the only 'iffy' choice.

The Mandarin looks like the only 'iffy' choice.

IMO whole list seems fine, as long as there are plans to ensure that mandarin has enough food. Feel @Onewolf is likely concerned because so many mandarins starve in this hobby. I've recently moved from the Paul B manadrin feeder with baby brines to the banana leaf lazy pod culturing.

My outdoor pod culture is unknown status, but my more recently started indoor pod culture based loosely on same R2R thread is doing well. REALLY well. Was hoping adding 'banana leaf' lazy pod culture would save me $50-75 weekly pod costs to ensure my mandarins are healthy and YES - its about to begin improving my fish food budget! My indoor culture is only in a 2.5g so I was really hoping my much larger outdoor bin culture would be successful. I've not given up on my outdoor culture and IF it has died off entirely then I'm open to another future outdoor try (even though I'm in TX and my outdoor locations have direct sun + heat). Details on my pod experimental cultures are in my build thread.
