Well,
I have my first mandarin, and of course, the diet is the pressing issue. He is eating pods, and occaisionally brine shrimp but I dont really find that exciting as they have little/no nutritional value.
I bought some bloodworms and the little guy seems to really like them. He swims after them, eats them off the sandbed etc.. Anyone know anything about the nutritional value of bloodworms? I cant get him to eat any other frozen/prepared food, so I was really excited about this bloodworm thing. Maybe this will open a new door into coaxing him to eat other frozen foods.
Maybe I should just food color all the other frozen food red. :thinking: J/k of course.
He is a big guy, at about 3-3.5" and very fat so I think he has a good chance if I can provide for him. If he starts to decline, I will return him to my supplier of course.
Thanks guys. Any info on nutritional value/success with bloodworms would help.
