Mandarins courting and/or fighting

[Nalini Akolekar]

I have two Mandarins who mostly just ignore each other, but occasionally fight. The male seems to be bullying the female. This morning it looked like they were courting, but then a while later the male got aggressive again. Is this part of the courtship or do they just not like eachother? Oh, and both the courting and fighting stated just after I added a ton of pods. They are in a 100.5 Waterbox with a few other fish and lots of coral.

Do you by chance have pics of the both of them?

You might find this interesting. Wife bought me 2 for V Day this past week, and I have been researching vids like this one.

Thanks! This was helpful, but I’m pretty certain I have a male and female, but that video shows they are definitely fighting.
