The Spotted Mandarinfish or Psychedelic Mandarinfish is pastel green with black eyespots outlined in orange and neon blue throughout its body.
The Spotted Mandarinfish is an excellent candidate for a well-established reef tank. It needs a steady diet of live organisms such as copepods and amphipods and small worms to survive. A refugium is recommended to establish this natural food source. They should not be kept with sea anemones, which may eat this fish. Have plenty of thick live substrate and live rock in the tank. Males will attack other male conspecifics.
Dragnets are difficult to feed in the home aquarium. They prey on small organisms such as copepods and amphipods that dwell in live rock and substrate. A well-established tank with a refugium is recommended to cultivate these organisms.
