I've had mine for about 8 months now. He's in a 55 with 100 lbs lr and will only eat pods and fresh hatched brine. He's fat and sassy ( well as sassy as a manderin can be)

Ive had mine 6-8 months. Doing very well. He feeds off of LR and gets frozen brine every couple days. So far so good!

I have mine for over 1 yr. Mine has always taken to frozen brine, mysis, and live brine. I also keep a 10 gallon tank with LR and sand and trade rocks in and out on a reg basis to keep some pods in my main tank.
