Well i was at the lfs today and i couldn't pass up on the Red Mandarin Goby i saw. I already have a mandarin but you don't see many red mandarins around. So i'm going to catch my green one out and put the red one in. The green one has been in my tank for 8 months now.
Target Mandarin (passed away) for those of you who think you can keep 2 mandarins in one tank don't do it. My green has gotten fat since i added my refugium then i saw this target mandarin at my lfs and it was starving so i bought it and put it in my tank with the green mandarin well they pretty much competed over the pods and finally the target mandarin died.
Green Mandarin when i first got it.

Gorgeous Mandarin! A Mandarin is definitely a fish I will be getting much later down the road when I set up my big reef. Let us know how he does

Well my green one has been with me for about 9 months now so the red one shouldn't have a problem. I put the green one in my 20gal for the time being until i get my 75gal setup.

Wow you need to come to VA then. The green mandarin i bought for $15 and the target one i had was like $25. Pretty cheap.

Thank you. I'm going to keep the mandarins for the time being. I put the green one in my other tank. Wish i can keep them both in one tank.

They are one of the easiest corals to take care of. Of course i feed my mysis shrimps and they grow pretty fast. They are my favorite corals but some can get pretty pricey.
