Yellow watchman Goby & Mandarin Dragonet

Can I put these 2 fish together? I already have the goby and am considering getting a mandarin. I have read that only one goby should be kept per tank, but the Mandarin technically isn't a goby.

They should be fine together.

Just curious are you aware of the requirements of keeping a mandarin? Your tank needs to be mature enough to handle a mandarins diet. Which consists of the live pods living in your tank. A tank needs to be well established to keep a mandarin alive, and healthy. Here is some good info on them!!!

I have 7 gobies in my 75, everyone gets along well. The yellow watchman is the only one in my tank that really defends his area. I have kept a mandarin before with my watchman and had no problems.

They should be fine. I have a mandarin as well as a yellow watchman and they are fine together. They don't even bother each other. It's more my purple firefish that is always pestering the watchman. I think he likes the company.
