Mandarins

Here I'am talking about a mandarin fish. I have learned about these animals quite a bit and also drew a picture.

                                                                                                                                                                    




A mandarin fish (Synchiropus Splendidus) is a small fish and is very shy. They live in corals and is only one of the fishes that have not scaly skin this helps in defense against predators that kind of skin tastes bad to other fish.


When you first hear the word mandarin fish it sound a bit weird, a  mandarin with eyes and tail. The fish got the name from it's bizzare and interesting and colors and patterns  it looks like  mandarin for it's orange color.

Another  member of mandarins is the spotted mandarin fish (Synchiropus Picturatus). It is usually mixed up with the mandarin fish.


Some people like how these fish look like so they have them as pets. Mandarins are very shy and might not want to eat the food that  you give  them. They may want  to hunt for their food by usually like in the  wild.
