Mandarin Green Dragonet Goby

Mandarin (Green) Dragonet Goby (Synchiropus splendidus)

Mandarin Gobies are strikingly beautiful fish that can add vibrant color to your marine aquarium. However, their care is often more challenging than expected. To keep Mandarin Gobies healthy, you must provide a steady supply of pods along with frozen or live food, as they are quite particular eaters. While they are peaceful and generally compatible with many other species, maintaining their health requires careful attention and effort. Synchiropus splendidus, also known as the Mandarin Goby or Mandarin Dragonet, is a relatively shy fish that generally avoids conflicts with its tankmates. As a reef-safe species, it primarily feeds on pods, so maintaining a consistent supply is crucial.
