Mixing Mandarin Gobies

[ramses66]

Any one had any experience with mixing the Target and Green Mandarins in the same tank. I want a pair of each, introduced in the tank at the same time.

What size tank? That's a lot of dragonets (not gobies) for one tank, particularly with their dietary needs.

300 gallon

Hmmm. A pair, yes if the tank is mature enough to sustain them.

I suspect 2 males may fight.

I had 2 (females I think) in a well established 120 and the larger original dragonet relentlessly harassed the new small one and it didn't let up after 2 months so I move her to another tank. Beautiful fish though!

Yeah I may just stick with 2 of the green dragonetts, they are both beautiful fish!
