wow, that's awesome. I was under the impression that you could only keep one mandarin because they would kill each other. Neato :)

Wow, I know it's hard enough just keeping one, you have two and they are obvisouly getting along.
They both look very healthy.

i believe you can keep one of each --- in the tank, or if the tank is big enough you can keep multiples. Melev has a recording of his mandarins eating pellets out of olive jars, and he has at least 4 in his tank.

Pretty mandarins!
How do you pair mandarins? Do you just put two in your tank and hope they pair up or is there a way to tell the difference between a male and felmale?

I think that the male mandarin has a much bigger fin on the top, it almost looks like a sail from a sail boat, and the female has a much smaller fin.

correct, the male mandarin has a very long spike on the top, almost like a firefish.
