The Spotted Mandarin, also referred to as the Spotted Mandarinfish, Psychedelic Mandarinfish, Psychedelic Fish, or Picture Dragonet, was first discovered within the Western Pacific Ocean in 1976 by Peters. The fins, head, and body are a psychedelic mixture of orange, blue, and black spots that are set on a green base. Males can be distinguished from females due to their longer first dorsal spine. It needs a 30 gallon or larger aquarium that has a living substrate and lots of hiding spots. It is moderately resistant in reef aquariums when given specific attention. It's not particularly antagonistic to other tank mates with the exception of the conspecifics. The Spotted Mandarin has been known to reproduce with success in aquariums. The diet should include various live brine shrimp that are vitamin-enriched and live blackworm. They will feed on natural prey from live rock and live sand. Are you looking for the most nutritious food source to feed your Dragonettes? We suggest the AlgaGen Tisbe biminiensis. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1" to 1-1/2"; Medium: 1-1/2" to 2-1/2"; Large: 2-1/2" to 4"
