feeding update

Well so far mandy the Manderin isnt using the feeding station so Ive now moved it to a different part of the tank thats more secluded in the hopes that the fish will eat from it there. Ive also started to breed copepods for the fish and will be uploading some pics of that at a later date ( dont want to post everything now lol cos I need tokeep you interested and looking forward to new posts lol)
Anyway Ive uploaded two small vids of mandy eating which I hope you will enjoy watching as much as I enjoy watching her.

new experiment

Well the title says it all, I was talking to this guy on a fish forum about feeding manderin fish andhe said about this new typ of feeding station he was testing and wanted feed back on how well it works, so I said I would help him so he sent me one and this is it. Its totaly clear so that you can watch your fish eat, it has a nice sized entrence for even the fatest manderin fish (lol) and a handy feeding tube in order to "squert" the food (copepods) into the feeding station. for the time being ive put the station in the middle of the tank with the entrence pointing to the cave like spaces at the back of the tank where mandy likes to roam for food, I will think about moveing it to the side of the tank thats more secluded if i dont see any sign of feeding. Ive only had the station a few days and although ive not seen mandy use it yet she might be useing it at night when im in bed for all I know. Anyway I will keep the blog posted on any updates with it



























Ive also included two other pics, the first shows what looks like a "phantom" cat laying in the tank, no idea what caused the reflection lol becouse I dont have a cat.






Last pic is of mandy herself, its a pic thatshows off her colours much better than most of the pics ive taken of her so wanted to share
