watchmen with mandarin goby?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello all, I was wondering if you could keep a mandarin goby in with a 2.5 inch watchmen goby who has been in this tank for a year.

kind of worried about the indigenous food source being lower to due the watchmen being established thus the mandarian wouldnt have any "tank" food

also the watchmen guards his "house" from my clowns and sixline wrasse
would he be aggressive towared to mandarin? i know u can house more than 1 watchmen but would the mandarin fit in?

thanks!

I'd be much more worried about the wrasse terrorizing the dragonette. The wrasse will surely outcompete the mandarin for food, and probably be extremely aggressive as well.

it is a very small 6line wrasse that is reef safe ( it hasnt picked at anything including the watchmen goby)

I personally wouldn't keep a 6 line and a mandarin together in a 55 -- the 6 line will out compete it for food.
