Scooter and Mandarin in 150?

[Lorenz725]

Do you guys think I can get a Mandarin for my 150? I am not worried about pods I have tons in the tank and also ton in my fuge. My scooter also eats frozen along with pods. Do you guys think they will fight? Thanks

I've done a pair of Mandarins and pair of Scooter Dragonets together in a 75gallon for 2 years now. The tank has some macroalgae growing and rock rubble throughout, though, to provide some sanctuary for their potential foods.

Thanks I did not know because they look alike if they would fight. I got a 100 gallon sump full of live rock that is a pod factory and a 29 gallon fug that is just crawling with pods. Also on the black overflows on the 150 there is a ton so I am not worried about the feeding.

Mine never fight and just seem to be more interested in their mate.

I've had more aggression with the Spotted Mandarins then the Psych. Mandarin or Dragonets.

Thanks!

No problems should be encountered unless you have two mandarins that are both male.

Thanks Steve I only plan on having one mandarin.

In that case, no issue.
