It might possible, ( if the 2 mandarins were of opposite sex) but not in a 15 gallon tank.Is it possible to keep together:
Blue green mandarin
Green mandarin
Red scooter
Planning a bigger setup, i have a 24x24x18, will add a back sump, and making a diy drine hatcher for nauplii, almost like unlimited supply. Plus a pod culture external. I have a crazy idea, just dont want any aggression.It might possible, ( if the 2 mandarins were of opposite sex) but not in a 15 gallon tank.
IMO even that is too small.Planning a bigger setup, i have a 24x24x18, will add a back sump, and making a diy drine hatcher for nauplii, almost like unlimited supply. Plus a pod culture external. I have a crazy idea, just dont want any aggression.

2 u mean male female or different types?In my 600 gallon two fight anytime they cross paths. They latch onto each other’s mouths and shake each other around. I’ve seen it go on for more than 30 minutes before I broke them up before. IMO multiple specimens with the same body shape is a bad idea and completely unfair to the fish.

So u have scooters too?2 males. Male and female would be ok. I wish I hadn’t got the second male and I have a big tank so I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal but I was wrong. I wouldn’t do it again and really don’t recommend anyone else. If they fight in 600 gallons they’ll just fight that much more in a smaller tank. I haven’t noticed any issues between my dragonettes and my scooters, I think the body shape is different enough that they don’t pay each other much attention.
I guess ill go for a red scooter with my current blue green mandarin. And blue stripe pipesI have known others who had difficulty with a spotted/target mandarin coexisting in the same tank as a psychedelic. Their spotted would chase the psychedelic mandarin around the tank constantly, to the point where 1 mandarin had to be rehomed in another tank. In each case the tanks were larger 180, 300 gal etc. I saw a small spotted mandy chase a very large male psychedelic.
