Mandarin Goby
I have a target Mandarin Goby 2 months after I started my tank, and he's grown from a merely 1.5 inch to almost 3 inches now and is a fatso and I've been trying to locate a mate for him for the past few months without luck up untill a week ago when I stop by my LFS and found this healthy 1.5 inch female and without hesitation took her home. ever since it was introduced in the tank the male is still not accepting the female, he chases her whenever they are close but she's so quick. I am hoping that one day they will eventually pair up.

Re: Mandarin Goby
Good luck with the mandarin, usually if you don't keep the tank supplied with pods, they eventually die. I have seen a couple of people that managed to get them to eat brine shrimp though.

Re: Mandarin Goby
How do you tell the difference between a male and female again?I've made it pass the one year mark with my Mandarin now.She/he is a fatty too and it would be nice to give it a mate.
