I have a 13g nano and I plan to get rid of one damsel for one classic red and white fire fish. Are mandarins compatible with fire fish? I know the eat the same thing as my mandarin seems to enjoy coral pellets

Don't worry. I have a refugium with pods and a mandarin that eats pellets, coral food, sps food, zooplankton powder, tigger feast, and anything else. I just don't want the firefish to pick at the little guy.Yes, but I'd suggest a larger tank for the mandarin or you'll be spending hundreds on pod supplements over time firefish are an absolute delight if you've got a secure lid!
That's lucky! Captive bred? Typically, firefish only pick at other members of their species. Send pictures of your little guy, they're gorgeous :3Don't worry.

Dottybacks will kill firefish. If you have one already, and may see the mandarin as competition for food source. Difficult to say if they will get along or not.New question! Can orchid dottybacks live With mandarin gobies?
I have two blue firefish fonts currently. They have to be very, very hungry to rush in and feed. They generally lay back, hide in the tunnels and grab whatever comes flying bye. Now the two mocha storm clowns, they’re popping up out of the water by the time I’m bringing the baster over. I need the hard lids and for the clown fish, not the fire fishYes, but I'd suggest a larger tank for the mandarin or you'll be spending hundreds on pod supplements over time firefish are an absolute delight if you've got a secure lid!
I've spooked mine by walking by the tank before. Popped right out of the water like it was fired from a gun (little guy is still munching like mad two months later, so I think he'll be okay!)I have two blue firefish fonts currently.

My mandarin has shared the Evo with two captive-bred orchid dottybacks for four months, and everyone's fine. No, they do not compete for food (except for 'pods), as the dottybacks pick food directly from the water column, and the mandarin gets the leftovers on the substrate. If anything, the sexy shrimp and bristleworms are much bigger competitors for the mandarin.Dottybacks will kill firefish.
