Green Manderinfish (Synchiropus splendidus).

+1. Beautiful fish but unless they have been trained to eat frozen, they will only eat pods and need a very stable and mature tank to survive... unless you want to spend a ton of money on buying live pods every day

Yeah, I had one, barely lasted 2 days and died. Stunning fish, but very difficult to keep alive. This website was useful, alas it was too late for mine. Caring for a Mandarin Goby

Looove these mandarin fishes- but they are very slow eaters and stay an 80% of the day on the bottom (if not 100%$- like all gobies- I guess)

I've had mine for over 3 1/2 years, he is a silly little fish, and a bit of a show off! I love his coloration. Darts all over the tank, gets along well with his tank mates!
