The Mandarin Dragonet is a small, brightly colored fish native to the shallow reefs of the Pacific Ocean. Known for its vibrant blue, orange, and green patterns, it typically grows to about 3 inches in length. This fish is a member of the Callionymidae family and is often found in sandy or rubble areas where it can hide from predators. Mandarin Dragonets primarily feed on small invertebrates, such as copepods and amphipods. They are known for their unique mating rituals, where males display their colors to attract females. Due to their specific dietary needs, they are best suited for well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock.
