Have others had long-term success with Mandarins.
They are indeed unusual and beautiful fish, and I would love to be
able to keep one happy and healthy.




Have you supplemented your pod population lately?
Many/most Mandarins eat nothing but live pods and if your system is depleted
(or never grew many to begin with for some reason) then you need to buy
some.
Perhaps your first Mandarin wiped them all out?
And having a refugium where pods can multiply without predation can help
insure that you don't run out over and over.

Many places to buy pods-
