no. there is simply not enough food to sustain them in that size tank.

ERRR, ok well how about this, it there a preference over males or females? becouse I got the female and I didn't know about the males high fin and all, otherwise I'd have gone with a male.

Also I had a scooter blenny and the mandarin with eachother for a long time till I decided to remove the scooter.

Check out my Web site. Page 2 is dedicated to Mandarins and how to set up a simple 10 g Pod Farm. I have a male and female (Synchiropus splendidus) in my 75g and plenty of pods for both.
