Psychedelic mandarin pairings...

[seashells]

You should probably have a male and female. We have a pair of male and female scooter dragonets. They perform their mating dance every evening. Just need popcorn. We added a psychedelic mandarin. They all get a long fine. So we think the mandarin is female. Still looking for a male mandarin. Males are supposed to be identified by a very tall dorsal fin. Good luck.

We purchased a female...let her settle for many months and made sure that we could feed her properly....then we purchased a healthy male that was a bit smaller...they don't fight at all and hang out quite a bit ...find one and the other will be quite close. I think we may have just been lucky, and our fish have lots of pods and food to eat...good luck! They are great fish if your tank is old enough! Keep checking the site for Teakie....very cool site!

I've had better luck with a large male and smaller female. The first big female I had was relentless. Just IME.
