Setting Up Mandarin Dragon Feeding Station & Nano Reef Tank Update
In this week's episode, I will be setting up a new feeding station for Peanut, my Baby Mandarin Dragonet. The idea of this is to be able to target feed Peanut and eventually train Peanut to eat pellets.
Can't wait to see how this setup turns out and whether Peanut will eat from it!
I hope you enjoy this week's content and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on Peanut's training progress!

Love your channel and all the Dragonet content.
Cute little peanut!!
So relaxing 😌
Your tank is beautiful! Clever deal with that feeding station

Thank you! 😊 It's been working out really well so far. Peanut would wait in front of the dish and as soon as she sees the food, she goes straight in!
Thanks for sharing! I wanna do and try this way feeding my Man(darin), too 😍💙

Put an amazon affiliate link to the shrimp feeder in your video description. Viewers who want one can find/buy it easily and you get a small commission. Win-win!

Good suggestion! I actually did in my early videos but no one buy from the link and Amazon decided to reject / close my application. I will re-apply once I got more sub / viewers 😊
Is it possible to bait the snails to another location just before feeding the mandarin.

Has peanut or any of the snails ever gone up the tube tube to Intercept the food as it floats downward ?
@BlueReefTank
3 жыл бұрын
The snails have but not peanut :) It's important to keep the tube fully submerged so if something goes in they can at least come out from the other end

@@BlueReefTank Thank you for the reply. I am feeding baby brine and copepods. I find the female I have is quite skittish and gets stressed/hides as soon as I come close to the tank. Its only been one week, hope this behaviour diminishes soon to start to try frozen on her.

@@alfredorios4416 Mine is still a bit shy to this day 😊 Just give her some time and she'll be fine. As long as she's eating well. My mandarin now waits in front of the feeding tube whenever I turn off the pump because she knows big juicy brine is going to come down from that tube 🤣

Is it hard to kept a coral?Whats the first coral do i put in my tank?
@BlueReefTank

Hi Kathy, it's actually not that hard as long as your tank is cycled and your water parameter is good. I would start with soft corals like leather coral or zoanthids as they're much hardier than say LPS or SPS 😊
