What about their frozen pods?

Or maybe the Red Plankton?

Whilst you still have some Lobster Eggs I would be gradually mixing in some of the other foods with the Lobster Eggs - hopefully, over time, they will not realise the difference and you can gradually reduce the Eggs.

This was posted on a Facebook page recently

I'm guessing that Hervey Bay is a bit too far away, but someone might still have some in the bottom of their freezer.

I'm with MagicJ, try and mix some Red Plankton up with the Lobster Eggs to extend what you have.
Call Mad about Marine and see if they can post you some.
Hope you can source some before you run out, Those Mandarin's look nice

I haven't seen the red plankton in any of our local shops, any idea where to get it from?

Ahh, it does state on their website they only deliver frozen goods to metro areas. Bummer

Susan, here are foods I use for my mandarins, dragonettes and pipefish. Nutrimar ova, capellin eggs (sardine eggs), oyster eggs, red reef plankton, cyclops and live black worms.

Thanks Rob,they are eating the cyclops and the red plankton,I will keep my eye out for the others:)

I like a nice variety for the fish to eat which is why I used the eggs as well as the other plankton. Mandarins and scooter blennies are notorious for not eating, eggs usually trigger a feeding response and get them eating and weight back on them.
