The population should dieoff if your not feeding heavy.

perfect,that many will or is eventually eating more than that. theres lots of pods Iso cope and amphi......they eat all of them.
I think my mandy just gets bored maybe. or its really part of their diet. anything that fits in their mouth. it took a few minutes for mine to shred the worm. pretty neat. he eats frozen brine too.

I love watching the manderin. Some times he swims around the top of tank looks like he is dead some times says there a few minutes then just swims straight to bottom again . Don't no why he does it
