I was curious of those who use a jar to place food in jars for slow eating fish such as mandarins, how long it took for the fish to get use to the jar and go in to feed?
I bought my mandarin about a month ago and feel I got very lucky as I saw it eating frozen mysis and pellets a couple days after it was introduced. I tried puting both foods in a jar for the bugger to feed for the past 2 days, but its very hesitant to go in, even the anthias and red shrimp don't venture into it yet. Granted, it is somewhat fun to watch nassarius go in and vacuum the pellets up, but it would be more fun to watch the mandarin.
Thanks!
