So a week or so ago I bought a gorgeous little dragonet mandrin and after a few days my hawk fish went after him and I hadn't seen my mandrin for a week so I figured he was killed. Today I got another much larger one and I look in and there's the little mandrin biting the big ones tail and hanging on and I was told never put 2 in a tank. So should I try to catch one and sell it or hope they tolerate each other and my tank is 125 gal so they won't come in contact muvh, I have 3 dwarf angels and they get along great and have for years so I'd hate to see one killed cuz of stress and I have a 40 gal refugium so I got a Lotta copopods for them to eat. Thanks anyone
 
You should be fine. I have a 75 gallon tank and im about to get a target mandrin.
 
Personally, unless it was a m/f pair... I probably wouldn't keep two in a 125.
