Mandarins Living Together

[ReefyMcReefleFace]

I was wondering if anyone has multiple mandarins living together. I have a psychedelic mandarin loving life in my tank right now, but I also love the look of the dragonets.

Assuming there is plenty of food in the tank, frozen, copepods, etc, does anyone know if they get aggressive towards each other? Thanks!

It can work if they are paired. But if you get two males they will fight

I know I have a female right now. Do you know if two females are ever aggressive towards each other?

They can, but not to the extent that males do.

Good thing mandarins are quite easy to sex

I've kept male amd female but of the same species. From my research 2 of the same sex is not recommended but I haven't tried it. I suppose it could work in a large enough tank.
