i've gotten 3 out of 3 of them eating frozen enriched hikari blood worms as well as frozen brine shrimp in quarantine. feed every few hours cause they never stop eating. they've also been known to eat nutramar ova, fish eggs, decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, frozen baby brine shrimp, oyster eggs, other eggs

I've seen my mandarin eat some pe mysis that have hit the sand bed. That's only a few times. Most of the time he just eats pods.

lol wrong forum as others said but yes you can train them onto prepared foods.not terribly hard but hard enough to keep most from putting the extra effort into it
