Thanks to their modest size and calm behavior, they can be kept in aquariums from 150 liters and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1693\" data-start=\"1530\"\u003eWild-caught individuals usually require large, mature tanks with a stable population of copepods – but that’s not necessary with these hardy, aquarium-raised fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1959\" data-start=\"1924\"\u003ePeaceful and Best Kept in Pairs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2111\" data-start=\"1961\"\u003eSpotted Mandarins are slow feeders and should be kept with calm, peaceful tankmates. Avoid pairing them with aggressive or overly competitive species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2330\" data-start=\"2113\"\u003eThey do best in male-female pairs. Males can be recognized by their elongated first dorsal fin. Keeping more than one male or mixing with other dragonet species can lead to territorial disputes and is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2382\" data-start=\"2332\"\u003eWhy Are Captive-Bred Dragonets More Expensive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2681\" data-start=\"2384\"\u003eThe higher price of captive-bred dragonets is due to their extremely slow growth. It can take many months for them to reach a saleable size of 2–3 cm. However, they are worth the investment: they are feeding-ready, hardier, and suitable even for newer reef tanks with limited natural food sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2836\" data-start=\"2683\"\u003eBy choosing a captive-bred Spotted Mandarin, you're not only adding a stunning fish to your tank – you’re also supporting sustainable marine aquaculture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coralaxy","offers":[{"title":"Weibchen","offer_id":55791239528822,"sku":null,"price":149.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Männchen","offer_id":55791239561590,"sku":null,"price":149.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paar","offer_id":55791239594358,"sku":null,"price":299.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"nicht eindeutig","offer_id":55791239627126,"sku":"","price":129.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/5345\/9454\/files\/LSDLeierfisch_2.jpg?v=1750168085","url":"https:\/\/coralaxy.live\/en\/products\/spotted-mandarin","provider":"Coralaxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
