+1 on that. 2 males mandarins, no matter what kind, will fight to the death.

Unless they are eating frozen food, and good rich frozen food, the 2 mandarins will starve to death in a short while in a 34 gallons.

I tried one each psychedelic and spotted in my 300 and the spotted won the battle, he chased the other one relentlessly until it finally jumped.

I have a resident madarin in mine, bought another one thinking it was a female (it was hiding it's pointed dorsal fin when i was watching it in store). The resident chased him till it jumped into the overflow where I left it until I was able to return it to the store the next day.

Thanks for the educated responses! Looks like I'll have to find a different home for him.

And yes all three eat frozen.
