Bro, not to what i know. Though there are shops selling juvenile brineshrimp.....but the supply doesnt come regular....suggest you let your tank matures....there are few ways to cultivate pods(mine is the not the professional method)...hehehe.for me...i used to have some floating mushrooms. So i put a beta box in my tank and placed some rocks and the floating mushrooms in it. Tilt the box to have mild flow. Dose some zoo/plankton max solution and whenever i feel my fishes, some of the food will sink into the beta box. Ignore it for weeks and you can see pods...hehe....just wait a bit longer...i think they will spread and thereafter, go get the fish. Hopefully the pods can last her till she learned to eat live brine shrimp. They are very cute...hehehe.....at times when my mandarin sees me....she will open up her fins and wanting to challenge me....she looks like ultrawoman....

anyway, you can try to get mandarin from ML, henry, and confirm his mandarin does eat his henry gourmet. This will increase the survival rate. Selection and source also play important role. Maybe you do a search to understand the proper method to cultivate pods....

Above is my personal experience. Open to snr's correction. All the best. : )

I do have a refugium where I can see pods...also can see in the main tank pods crawling on the glass. Just want to be sure I can replenish the supply if the mandarin eats them all.

Since you have a refugium, you should be quite safe to have a continuous supply of pods. Put some cheato into your refugium. Pods like to hide in cheato.

Hi, I keep Mandrin fish also, Like what Thexder said, i have keep chaeto also, to feed the fish, i just pick up a handful of the chaeto and shake the pods out of them. Looking for other forms of consistent food for Mandrin also.

Where is ML, henry? Thanks

Marine Life Hobbielist at Hong Leong Garden shopping centre. Exact address is found at the sponsors website. Open from 12pm to 8pm. Owner is Henry. Last visit yesterday, i see only 3 mandarins left. One sick. Not all will eat the henry's gourmet but worth a try. My yellow target mandarin still do not want to eat yet. Good luck!
