Welcome to MR

The brine shrimp hatcheries work well and are relatively inexpensive. There are also many DIY versions.

What do you plan to use it for?

green mandarin

Brine shrimp are not an exclusively natural food for a mandarin. What else do you plan to feed it?

How new / big is the tank?

 

[adamizy]

I have copepods
29 gallon bio cube with plenty of live rock.

Good, because they eat lots of them!

Try adding some macro algae also. It's a great place to grow pods. That manadrin will probably out consume the natural supply of pods. Is it eating prepared foods?
