How often to feed Mandarin goby?

[Jonathan Chia]

I have a mandarin goby that is eating LRS and frozen hikari Mysis. I also have pods in the tank, but now sure if the population can be sustained with a possum wrasse and mandarin hunting all day

is feeding 1-2 times a day enough?

Two times is fine as long as you see him actively eating pellets of Mysis when you feed. One or two LRS pellets is worth dozens of pods probably anyway.

As many times as you can.

I would restock your pods supply when you can. I like to make sure there are more than enough

Build a pod hotel... load it up initially once every two weeks for first 2 months...then forget about it. that usually keeps them fat and happy. (I've kept mandarins in a 13.5G with no additional feedings once everything is establish... fat and happy ones, I might add)

if you like to feed, they tend to take shrimp eggs you can get at Neptune easily.

Feeding twice a day seems to be working for mine.

At least twice each day
But your tank should have a micro fauna population to sustain them
