Well I finally spotted a little female mandarin goby at the LFS and after a few mins of contemplation I gave in. Had to be one of the funniest and most interesting moments in my fish tanks history to watch my big male see the female for the first time. He raced over and they both just sat there about 4 inches apart for 5 mins just staring at each other. She swam over pecked him on his face and he reared his dorsal fin and since then they haven't left each others sides. Shes only been in there for 30 mins and there already hunting together!

And of course my cleaner shrimp Lanny McDonald jumped on both of them for a thorough cleaning.
