The Red Mandarin Dragonet is a rare variation that exhibits a brilliant red body and almost entirely red pelvic and pectoral fins.

Mandarin Dragonettes are some of the most attractive and popular aquarium fish in the industry.

Our experience has shown that these young fish begin to grow rapidly when they are kept in a reef environment. We believe that while our mandarins can survive on 100% commercial diets, they will thrive in an environment that offers them a combination of frozen, pellet and live copepods.

Once they have settled into their environment, they will easy get along with other docile fish and are able to scoot and flutter about.

The ORA Red Mandarin will usually ship at a size under 1″
