My Mandarin is finally pellet trained

My Mandarin is finally pellet trained. I must admit this was not my goal as he has been eating frozen fantastically for almost a year now but the other day he decided to try a pellet and has been eating them like mad ever since.

 

 

Ignore the GHA please as I am working on that

I trained my 2 green mandarins very easily on frozen food so what's the big deal about buying Ora mandarins if they don't even eat frozen...hmmm

everyone in my local reef club has been having issues with the ORA mandarins. Make sure all you pumps are off when you are feeding so the food can settle and your mandarin can find it and focus on it. Try to put a lot of food in a corner of the tank while your mandarin is there....may have to wait for the perfect time. You may have to over feed until he gets better at feeding.

 

My mandarin will out eat both my blenny and clown now.
