Hi, thanks for your response. We have a lot of live rock, I would say about 110 pounds. We have tons of the copepods lining the sides of our tank, covering the sand and all over the rock. If you look long enough, everything is moving! I was freaked at first because I thought it was a parasite! That is one reason why we thought this fish would do well in our tank. I don't understand what you mean about the feeding though. I have some shy eaters. The most rambunctious would be the school of chromis, which don't shoo anyone away, but are quick at feeding times. Our Tang doesn't really eat much of the frozen food, nor does our Fox Face...they eat the seaweed. Our clown eats well, but will let the school go ahead of him. The goby eats some, but does a lot of eating from his cave that he has dug out under a rock. When I feed, I use a suringe and squirt in several places so there is not so much competition. It seems to work well. Would I need to worry about feeding the Mandarin more then the copepods which are abundant? Thanks for the help!
