Mandarin Feeder Box Take 2

[sullest]

This is my second take of me feeding my spotted dragonet. I was distracted by my dad a couple of time with his computer problem. But I hope this give an idea of how to feed them dragonet. Anyhow system is a 29gallon with a DIY hang on fuge. The madarin to my opinion is fat

Very cool. Did you buy the box or makr it?

I just bought a box from tap plastic and cut a hole out so it can enter. Then i thought of a way to retrieve it so glue a piece of rod onto there to get the box out when he's done eating.

Nice job. You should build boxes and sell them with the mandarins.

That’s what I said. . . .

=) I can do that. Maybe I should do a mass mandarin training regimen .

I would buy a mandarin with the box...haha

I would want a green mandarin rather then a green spotted mandarin though

 

[sullest]

Every one wants the green one. =) maybe I should start training one in my sump and take orders . Thats a maybe. lol. How much is a box mandarin worth I wonder =)>

Fantastic idea! If you go through with this, put us down for one

It is great idea, but it is not a long-term solution for a mandarin. IMHO you need at least a 125 with a sump and lr for pod population and repopulation. Mandrains eat constantly, not just at feeding time. Like I said they eat all day and night long. They are hunters. Fat and healthy do not go together, just look at today's society, fat does not mean healthy, balanced diet means healthy, and to a mandarin, his natural diet is pods 24/7

lol it does but I am not yet ready. I have schools in two weeks. I might try to invent something where it trains for me automatically. Got to talk to my EE buddies at UW
