ISO mandarin

Usually you can only find the Synchiropus splendidus (green mandarins) captive bred from Biota and those are definitely pellet trained. I rarely see captive bred Synchiropus ocellatus (scooter mandarins) but they sometimes exist. But the vast majority you'll see for sale in stores will be wild caught and a huge gamble.

I got a wild (spotted mandarin) Synchiropus picturatus from High Tide and it eventually started eating mysis shrimp that settle to the sand.
 
We have 2 green spot mandarins in house, we have had them both for about a month both eat misis 1 eats TDO pellets. We can also order captive bred from Biota and ORA as well.

Cheers,
Nick
