Overview
With intricate ribbon-like patterns of royal blue, green, red, and peach, the Blue Mandarin Dragonet is one of the most visually stunning fish in the hobby. Unlike wild-caught specimens, these captive-bred mandarins readily accept prepared foods, making them significantly easier to care for. Peaceful and reef-safe, they thrive in established aquariums with plenty of rockwork for shelter and foraging.
