i saw him eat the one time i was there. i saw him and i just stood there looking at him, and one of the people said it would B ok to get him because he ate prepared food...i dint believe him so the guy fed him for me, i was like...'wow'. i dint buy him right away tho cuz id figured i would come here and ask, ill go back and if he still eats prepared food would it B ok to get him? :notsure:

Even prepared foods would not provide an adequate supplement to the diet their bodies are built for, IMO.
I would like to add to the original question though. If there was a fuge with more than enough pods in it to provide the DP with an adequate supply of pods for the mandarin, then would it survive?

I believe Birdy and the others are refering to Copepods - little life forms that only establish themselves in a tank that has been up and running for awhile.
i got a mushroom rock at 10 weeks and it musta had lots on there cuz they sure spread throughout my tank quickly. They are small, whiteish almost look like little aphids. Watch your substrate and LR for them. Good Luck!
