Flatworm Eating Mandrin Goby

I just heard from a fairly reliable sorce that Psychidellic and/or Spotted Mandrin Goby's can and will eat Red Plenaria (sp?) Flatworms...

 

Anyone heard of this?

Yup it does happen, however it varies from fish to fish. You could get one that ate them but just as easily you could get one that doesn't. It's pot luck really.

 

Best regards

Don't risk getting one unless you have an ample pod population, and a tank of at least 30 gallons with the 2 # per gallon of LR (giving you 60 #) rule established for a minimum of 6 months. It is far more likely that your mandarin dragonet (commonly mislabled as a goby) will starve than be one of the extremely few that actually eats something aside from pods.

I found (essentiallivefoods.com) where you can buy copepods, has a link to how to do your own hatchery as well. Anybody tried this??? I would like to keep this fish but only if this method of growing copepods is truly possible so that food was always available... Ideas anyone???
