2 female Mandarins in one tank???
 
Can 2 female Mandarins (same species-both Green or Pterosynchiropus splendidus) be kept in the same tank? Any input or critisism or shared experience would be appreciated!

I wouldn't. Mandarins are very aggressive to same sex. Trade it for a male. :smile:

I second that.

Also, mandarins aren't gobies, they are Dragonettes.

I am with Deb,

Very aggressive towards same sex.

Trade one for a male and make sure you have a large pod population cause 2 mandarins are gonna go through em quick.

Thanks everyone...and thanks for the clarification on the "Goby" idea :redface: ...I am still a bit new and have always heard them called that....I appreciate the input though and will just stick with owning 1 female...so next question would be...if I have a female, can I just add a male and they will get along? or is it best to just leave it be? ALSO, have heard a bunch about Pod Farming from this woman in the states that has a 10g set up as a pod farm...does anyone do that here? I got ahold of the company that she purchases her stuff from but they can't ship to Canada any input would be great!
