ive heard about this too. their mucus layer is much more protective against pathogens i guess. is it true, im not sure.

Your mandarin is so beautiful...I made it my desktop background!
I wish I could get a mandarin....I think they are the most beautiful saltwater fish ever! I dont have a big enough tank to support the pod population, so I will have to wait a long time before I get one!

lol. Seems easy. So the pods just come out of the cheato or do you need to add them to the cheato?
