Ruby Red Dragonet

[Marvin Wang]

Anyone know if the ruby-red-dragonet can be mixed with Mandarins in the same tank ?

Will both males fight ?

Although I did not try before but I think is ok since both fish is not aggressive.

Both fish are aggressive to mate competitors. I had 2 male mandrins which fought to the death. I'm not sure if it's would happen inter-species though :/

I would advise you to have a take caution and have a contingency plan if you put them together. And if you do please post your findings here! I (and probably many others) would want to keep those two fishes together in the future so your experience would be greatly appreciated

they eat pods like mandrin haha. Even if they eat pellets/frozen food they will most likely starve unless you feed them every 15 seconds they have a "straight" digestional tract(they poop a few minutes directly after they eat) so they get hungry very very very fast

Unless you have a huge tank will lots of space for the dragonets to established their own territories, if not it is not advisable. I have a pair of S. moyeri and when I tried to add the ruby red, they would chase and bite the new comer till death.

Btw the tank will need to have a lot of base surface area for mandrins. A tank with a bigger base would be better than a tank with a taller height.
