Some of us would love to have that problem. Sure, Mandarin would love that, but is it sustainable? If they are able to repopulate faster than your goby can eat them I say go for it.

I think you added a bottle to your 29g nano back in Dec. I added a manderine to my nano when I started seeing them all over the glass. I am sure he will eat well. Just be sure to keep an eye on him. If he starts getting thin, then you need to add more asap.

Copepods are a group of small crustaceans found in the sea and nearly every freshwater habitat. Some species are planktonic, some are benthic, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial ...

Yes as that is there food, but only a small amount, you can feed other bigger issues.

Also heard its easy to culture phytoplankton or is it dirt cheap to just buy it? I heard theres a
concentration of it where it will last long!

It is super easy to continually culture, but there is daily husbandry that needs to be done or you can kill an entire culture
