I just her a week or two ago but she is very healthy i believe gabe had her for a month before i purchased her. she does not get along with my large male red mandarin :confused: she has nipped his fins pretty good. i hate to see her go but i got to. she about 2 1/2 inches $20

Beautiful. What made you think it was a female? In the picture it looks like it has a very noticable spike (= male)

[Big_Pun]

i didnt look hard enough i guess, so if im wrong i guess it might be a male

[Kristy]

Well, that would explain the fin-nipping!

[Europhyllia]

Yup. I found Targets are not easy to pair up - even with a female - much less with another male. ;)
He's beautiful. Somebody's going to love him.

my red mandarin is twice as big and doesnt fight back

[Europhyllia]

doesn't surprise me. I've found the targets to be much more assertive.
If you want a pair another red/green will be easier to sex than a target and less aggressive I bet. :)
