They offer the spotted, blue, and red mandarins. I think the blues and reds are a little more rare.

This is the kind I have.
Never seen him eat a lick of frozen food, just searches for pods.
Had a male female pair but the female didn't last. The male is growing.

But more responsible than buying the wild ones too. They have a better chance of surviving in our tanks, and dont negatively impact the wild population.

With anything in this hobby, nothing is ever 100%. It's always 50/50.

My Mandarin is fat and healthy. I feed him Ocean Nutrition Formula One Marine Pellets (small).

Mine also eats blood worms and Orange Sushi roe. All my fish go nuts for the roe. Sometimes I turn off the flow and drop the food right in front of him.

can you show me a picture of the Orange Thingy? and will the wild mandarin eat them?

You mean the Orange Sushi roe? Asian markets usually sell it. Here it is coating a California Roll:
