I got a male and female red ruby dragonet and want to add a mandarin or a pair of mandarins to my 100 gallon tank. Should I stick with a solo male or a pair. My lfs has robust males no females though. Also does anyone have tips for installing a target feeder for the mandarins. I’m not sure what parts I should get
 
You could look at this one

I have seen many larger systems that have different types on mandarins and I would think it's more dependent on the pod status in your tank more than anything.

This is great and I have one and ordered a second for a soon to be 10 gallon to 70 gallon upgrade that I plan to add a trio of scooter blennies and want to supplement their feedings with freshly hatched BBS.

I would also suggest looking into white worms as all the mandarins I have ever had LOVE them and they're "alive" enough that they move while on the sandbed and the mandarins hunt them down!
 
My other dragonet is a male… I guess my 20 gallon will have a new friend
