Green Mandarin Goby (Synchiropus splendidus)

The Green Mandarin, also commonly referred to as Blue Mandarin, is a member of the family Callionymidae, the Dragonets, and grows to a maximum length of 4 inches. They originate in the Western Pacific from the Ryukyu Islands to Australia. In the wild they are found on silty bottoms with coral and rubble. In the aquarium, it is best to provide them with plenty of rockwork in which to hunt and hide. Some green (blue) mandarins may eat Nutramar Ova, finely chopped Hikari Frozen Blood Worms, fish roe, frozen or live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia, and New Life SPECTRUM Small Fish Formula pellets. Some have also shown interest in Cyclopeeze.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
