So my buddy that I got into saltwater is moving and broke down his tank and gave me all his livestock..I've had a target mandarin for about a year now and he gave me a psychedelic mandarin..Last night I captured this on video...is this how they do the deed?

hard to tell but it looks like 2 females.. if so they are fighting..
 
thanks guys...i didnt think so either, but a buddy of mine said they were. My sister said to me, they bite each other while have sex..i was like idk maybe..u might ur husband don't u. hahaha
 
definitely looks like the spotted is attacking the other one. not a good sign to me.
 
It's fighting. If they are both females, which it appears they are, they they probably won't ever get along in that tank. Keep the one you like better and sell the other one. Otherwise you'll have 1 mandarin and 1 dead mandarin.
 
Since your target is the established fish and the psychedelic is new, the target is trying to show domination over the new one. It is perfectly normal and will normally go away with time. However, keep an eye on them as it doesn't always. How large is your tank?
