Looks that way to me ... if so they cannot handle stress well and that ups your trouble level.

yes they were going into my 30 gallon... I've had the tank for over a year... I would'nt have minded buying pods on a regular basis aswell as I bought 2 bags of pods with the mandarins. Being in my 30 gallon wouldn't have been an issue. Either way they are getting sent back... I gave them alittle more than 2 hours to snap out of it. Neither one budged. Thanks anyways

that's great 
just so you know, the reason i'm asking (and 1journeyman was thinking the same thing i'll bet) is that one mandarin will most likely starve in a 30 gallon. 2 most definitely will. your 2 bags of pods would have been eaten in about 3 days if not sooner. A fuge will give the pods a breeding ground, but still, a 30 gallon won't have enough rock for the mandarins to eat off of for a very long time.
the warranty will cover the shipping death, but you're money won't be reimbursed months down the line when they die. just my $.02

lol well now for alittle of my 2 cents... You seemed to run alittle off topic with your questions.... I was not asking for your opinion on the matter of my tank size. Now as for "will most likely starve in a 30 gallon." When you look at that its obviously not a fact. I've done my research and there are stories of mandarins thriving in nanos for years and dying in larger 100 gallons+. If I seem to be coming off alittle strong thats because I am. I simply asked if they looked like they would possibly survive. As for "
no answer yet either..." Makes me feel like your trying to attack me. Rather unnecessary. Why I didn't answer is because I was busy trying to figure out a solution.
