Mandarin in an aggressives tank

[caz2022]

Has anyone ever tried keeping a mandarin dronette in an aggressives tank? I have a 125 with a porci (6 inches) a lunar wrasse (5 inches) and a toad fish (5 inches), was wondering if they'de make a snack out of my 3.5 inch mandarin.

I don't know if the others would but i an pretty sure the toad fish would make a great meal out of him. they can eat fish a lot bigger than you would think.

When you word a question like this; you'll always find someone who has done it.

I would never put a mandarin in with these fish. They don't tolerate any aggression or even very active fish well. Even if it survives, it is a very slow,timid fish that you'll seldom see because it will be hiding with all the activity. They are best suited for a well established, large, very peaceful tank.
