The body and head of Green Mandarin, also known as the Striped Mandarinfish or Green Mandarinfish is a maze-like mixture of orange, blue and green. Males can be distinguished from females due to their longer dorsal spine at the beginning of their body. It is extremely popular among aquarists due to its unique appearance. It is best placed in a, 30 gallon or larger reef tank with live rock, live sand and lots of hiding spots. It's moderately robust in reef aquariums when given the proper care. It's not antagonistic to other fish with the exception of the conspecifics. The Green Mandarin has been known to reproduce with success in aquariums. It is fed by a variety of vitamins-rich live brine shrimp as well as live black worms and prey that naturally feeds on live rocks as well as live sand.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
