Guillard fish are also called Mandarin fish, and their favorite food is live loach, followed by small fish and shrimp. The most popular bait for Mandarin fish is live loach, followed by small fish and shrimp. Live loach can be used as bait for Mandarin fish with a length of 5 to 7 centimeters.

This is because Mandarin fish also feed on small animals in the water, and live bait is most attractive to them. Specifically, live bait that can be used includes small fishes and shrimps, loaches, earthworms, etc., and they need to be allowed to remain active when hooked. However, when fishing for Mandarin fish, you can also take the way of Roadrunner fishing, in which case you have to use false bait, such as VIB, Mino, sequins and so on.
