My two mandarins

Thanks for the help. It got more nasty but I managed to get the new comer out and I have a new home for him. It's a pity he was so docile, he even liked to rest on my hand....

They are fighting, and can't be kept together. You can try a social acclimation box like a recent thread descibes, but I'm pretty sure your "female" is a male. Some males take a long time to develop their dorsal spikes, and some never get spikes.

Wow I cant believe it was so hard for you to spot. When one fish has another part of a fish in its mouth like that and the spin around and bite . Umm they are fighting. I could tell within 2 secs of watching the video.

I agree with the others, looks like fighting to me as well, but I'm glad you found a good home for one

Not actually a very helpful post KeMo... Often times "mating" and "fighting" in the animal world are hard to tell apart as sometimes it can be violent and this person didn't know so they were doing the right thing by asking for our help.

Agreed, sometimes hard to discern and also an exceptionally useless post from KeMo.

If you found that video hard then you need glasses. Gobytron if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all.
My post was useless ok. And I see you had nothing at all to say. F--- Off.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! People!
There seems to me to be an awful lot of bickering and nastiness lately. Can't we all try to get along here. One of the reasons I like this site is because members are usually friendly and helpful. Nastiness doesn't help anything.
