Spotted Mandarin Goby

Synchiropus picturatus

Reef Safe

Add a touch of exotic beauty to your reef aquarium with the Spotted Mandarin Goby. With its intricate pattern of vibrant colors and striking dorsal fin, this fish captivates observers with its unique appearance. Despite its delicate appearance, the Spotted Mandarin Goby is generally considered reef safe, making it a prized addition to mixed reef environments. However, it's essential to provide ample live rock with plenty of hiding spots and microfauna to support its natural feeding habits. As primarily carnivorous fish, Spotted Mandarin Gobies feed on copepods, amphipods, and other small invertebrates found within the live rock. Regular feedings of live or frozen foods rich in protein help ensure their nutritional needs are met in captivity. With their peaceful demeanor and fascinating behavior, Spotted Mandarin Gobies contribute both beauty and ecological balance to reef aquariums, enchanting observers with their graceful movements and intricate coloration.
