I don't know if you recieved my response. You can get liquid garlic from your local LFS. It is a little pricey but it does boost apetite and their immunity, some even say it helps prevent parasites. I noticed this right away. It doesn't change the parimeters of water either. I put 6 drops everyday in my 55 gallon.

Mandrins might eat some frozen mysis or live brine.

Otherwise they need live food.

Try kent's garlic extreme or seachem's garlic guard. Use live brine shrimp first and once your dragonet accepts it you can try frozen brine/mysis shrimp.
