got ethical husbandry?

3 month old Bio Cube 29

Just thought I would share a few pics of my new Bio Cube 29. I'm new to the hobby so any recommendations/advice is welcome.

Looks good.

One thing I would say is that I hope your Mandarin is taking frozen foods otherwise she'll likely starve unless you're adding lots of copepods weekly. Generally with Mandarins you want an established 6-12 months+) tank with sufficient water volume to support enough copepods to feed them.

Yeah she is eating frozen mysis and brine shrimp, I have seen people feed them pellets. Any idea how i could train her to eat pellets? I have tried but at the moment she just ignores them
 
Nice you're one of the lucky ones if she is already taking frozen mysis and brine :). For pellets, I think most just try to work them in slowly in to the feeding by mixing. Also a corner/box that keeps things in one place I've heard helps too. That said from what I understand few Mandarins end up taking to frozen foods and fewer still end up taking to pellets.
