Wow!! Interesting where this tread has gone. The best way to get mandarins to eat is to create a "dining area" for them. This way they don't have to compete for food. I just sink a small mouth canning jar to the bottom of my tank and place the food in the jar w/ a feeding syringe. Over time the mandarin will figure out the system and eat in the jar. I have trained 2 personally and seen many sucessful cases. And yes, mandarins are less suceptable to marine ich (look it up!). This tread was about a certain Petco vs. the unethical treatment of Petco as a company. I have been in this hobby for a long time and have unfortunately been in (I would guess) 30 different Petco stores. I have never bought a single live good from them. Ok I do purchase crickets for my veiled from there.
