Patience is the key...set your tank up, seed it with pods, have macroalgae and let that be the last fish added. Why is that so hard?
I had a sand sifting goby...he landed up eating the food that fell to the bottom of the tank and taught himself to eat frozen food, so when there was no more food in the sand...he still lived and didn't starve, as was the case with other sand sifters of the past. That is kind of what a mandarin has to do to learn to eat frozen foods, not like a fish you can spot feed. So instead of trying to get the mandarin to eat frozen, concentrate of having enough pods to keep him alive and hope he figures out how to eat frozen. Just don't add the mandarin until you see the pods all over in abundance.
it is becoz i was told the mandy had to be 1st to introduce to the tank becoz of its such anon aggressive fish it needed more time from the others...
but okay thanks for the help anywaysss
