Blue Mandarins that are captive-bred possess a distinct advantage over the wild harvested species. They are stronger and more at ease with conditions in home aquariums. This makes them an excellent choice for beginners as well as experienced aquarists. ORA Captive-Bred Blue Mandarins sometimes referred to as Mandarin Dragonettes or Mandarin Gobies is a stunning fish sought-after by aquarists for their stunning beauty. Blue Mandarins are a vibrant visual display of gorgeous jewel-tone colors like amber orange, cobalt blue, and emerald green, with a maze-like pattern. Their playful movements and quirky personality add to their appeal, providing endless hours of entertainment. Blue Mandarins are best placed in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium that has live rocks, live sand, and plenty of hiding spots. They can be moderately tough in reef aquariums, provided they are given the best attention. They aren't overly hostile towards other fish, other than species that are similar to them. Male Blue Mandarin is easily distinguished from the female Blue Mandarin by its distinctive, elongated, first dorsal spine. ORAs captive-bred Mandarins accept a range of prepared dried and frozen food items upon getting used to their tank. They could be served Nutramar, ova finely chopped hikari, Frozen Blood Worms, fish roe frozen, live brine shrimps, daphnia frozen and New Life SPECTRUM Small Fish Formula pellets. A few have shown an enthusiasm for Cyclopeeze. In the wild Blue Mandarins are micropredators that actively hunt amphipods and copepods. They should be supplemented by live food. Also, we recommend the algae Gen Tisbe Biminiensis. Synchiropus magnificentus can be described as a tranquil fish that thrives in a reef tank that is already established as long as there aren't any aggressive tank mates that could be competing with each other for food.

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.
