Beschreibung:

Mandarinfishes (Synchiropus splendidus) during mating, Anilao, Philippines. The mandarinfish is native to the Pacific, ranging approximately from the Ryukyu Islands south to Australia, in a depth of up to 18 metres (59 ft). They reach a length between 5–8 centimetres (2.0–3.1 in) with males being bigger (on the left in this picture). Despite their popularity in the aquarium trade, mandarinfish are considered difficult to keep as some fish never adapt to aquarium life, refusing to eat anything but amphipods and copepods, what this carnivore feeds from in wild.
