Fighting Manderinfish?

[teresaq]

ok, I did find one site that called a scooter a dragonet. If this is the case, then you are taking a big chance on all your dragonets starving to death. They all eat the same food, PODs. maybe they are fighting over food.

Yes, but they just don't USUALLY fight like true mandarins will.

this topic is about fighting mandarins....correct? Personally I just would not take the chance...I would not want to have to tear my tank apart to get one out....NOR would I be able to sit back and watch them fight...so....I will be safe and stick with one in my tank
