xXReeferXx Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That is a male...supposedly harder to train then females.Males have enlarged top fins unlike their female counterparts. Link to comment

jamescon85 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is it possible to keep both a male and female together? 2 mandarins woulb be awesome to have Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is it possible to keep both a male and female together? 2 mandarins woulb be awesome to have Very possible. Many people keep mated pairs. You can sometimes have multiple females for your mandarin to pretend it's a pimp. ? Link to comment
jamescon85 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Cool! Is it possible to maybe just have 2 females? I'm sure I have a female and I don't think I have ever seen a male in my lfs Link to comment
joy13 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Be careful sometimes the males fin will get damaged and will be sold as a female. I know this happened to someone and they fought, Link to comment
lkoechle Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Females will fight with each other. Matt Pederson bought a second manadrin female to keep in a breeding trio and he had to remove her due to aggression from the other female. It'd be safer to have 1 male and 1 female. Link to comment
jamescon85 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yep ok cheers, I will only get a 2nd if I see a male Link to comment
