From our species guide
In plain words: The mandarin dragonet looks like someone painted it with swirls of blue, orange and green. Most blue animals are not really blue. They just bounce blue light back at you.
Mandarins are living artwork. Wild fish feed almost only on live copepods, but our captive-bred mandarins already accept frozen foods, which makes them far easier to keep.
They still do best in a mature tank with plenty of live rock and a healthy pod population.
