I want to introduce Tisbe into my tank for feeding my mandarin.

He is currently content with eating "Krill+" frozen food but I feel he needs better nutrition.

Would they be able to sustain themselves or would I need to continue to put more inside my tank after a period of time?

Thank you for any responses :D

Whether or not they can reproduce is up to the tank size and how many hiding places there are in the tank. Also understand that once you do this, the dragonet will probably not accept prepared foods. How long have you had the fish and how long has it been eating prepared foods?

In tank they'll find their own food, culturing them independently and you'll need to feed them phyto.

I guess it all depends on the specific fish but my scooter was trained on frozen, I worried he might not be getting enough food that way so I started adding pods he happily ate them up but would still eat his frozen food as well.
