Colourful marine, interesting patternThe Mandarin is an extremely docile and friendly fish, so it should not be kept with aggressive species. Also ensure that tankmates (especially the more active types) are not outcompeting the Mandarin Fish at feeding time. We suggest feeding in 2 or 3 spots around the tank to reduce the chances of the Mandarin missing out on food. Alternatively you can offer food directly to your Mandarin by using a long pipette or turkey baster. The name Mandarin comes from its bizarre and extreme coloration, which resembles the robes of an Imperial Chinese Mandarin (a bureaucrat officer/ scholar). Having this fish in your marine aquarium will bring you hours of enjoyment and S. splendidus earns a spot as one our Must Haves for any marine aquarist.

Feeding

Mandarin Fish are slow and methodical feeders. In the wild, they primarily feed in between rocks, selecting small organisms such as copepods and amphipods. When introduced into a home aquarium, Mandarins can at first be finicky feeders, so it is recommended to regularly feed them live brine shrimp. If theyre introduced into in a wellestablished reef tank, this will provide plenty of opportunity to feed on the small invertebrates that naturally occur in any thriving reef tank. While feeding on live foods, they can then be gradually switched to frozen foods. We recommend combining live brine shrimp with Aquarium Industries Naturals Range Frozen Brine Shrimp, to help speed this process up.
