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!

    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!

    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

    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 😊
