I have a female green mandarin in my 108 gallon....She's been in there for a couple of months now and is doing great. Fat and healthy. I have a thriving pod population in the tank, and culture Tisbe and Tig pods on the side as well - just in case. I've been wanting to add a male for awhile, and ordered one from Biota. He arrived two days ago, and is currently in a 10 gallon observation tank. He is eating pods and pellets just fine. My problem is....my female is about 1.75 inches long, and the male they sent me is much smaller.- maybe just over an inch. I've been reading that this size difference may be an issue - as the female may be very aggressive to a smaller male. So....should I put him in and watch closely? Or should I keep in the the QT to grow?
TIA
