But what im wondring is where did the rest of my pods go?

I believe they can eat the smaller pods that they can catch. But you shouldn't worry. I have them all over my refuge and still there is enough pods to keep my Mandarin fat and healthy. So you should be fine, and as everybody else said - great food for your fish!
