Synchiropus Splendidus
''Synchiropus splendidus'', the mandarinfish or mandarin dragonet, is a small, brightly colored member of the dragonet family, which is popular in the saltwater aquarium trade. The mandarinfish is native to the Pacific, ranging approximately from the Ryukyu Islands south to Australia. It can usually be found in some of the warmer waters. Taxonomy and etymology The mandarinfish was first described as ''Callionymus splendidus'' in 1927 by Albert William Herre, an American ichthyologist working in the Philippines. It was later placed in genus ''Synchiropus''. The generic name ''Synchiropus'' is from Ancient Greek '' syn-'', meaning "together", and ''-chiropus'' meaning "hand-foot". The specific epithet ''splendidus'' is from the Latin for 'bright' or 'glittering.' The common name of the mandarinfish comes from its extremely vivid colouration, evoking the robes of an Imperial Chinese mandarin. Other common names include mandarin goby, green mandarin, striped mandarinfish, striped ...

Picturesque Dragonet
The picturesque dragonet (''Synchiropus picturatus'') is a brightly colored member of the dragonet family native to the Indo-West Pacific: Philippines, eastern Indonesia and northwest Australia. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade, where it is commonly known as the spotted mandarin, psychedelic mandarin or target mandarin. Description The picturesque dragonet may grow to a size of 7 cm in length. They have thick slime on their skin that inhibits many types of parasitic infection and minimizes the risk of disease following stress or physical trauma. This seems to help protect them from some other more aggressive fish. ''Synchiropus picturatus'' is one of only two animal species known to have blue colouring because of cellular pigment, the other being the closely related ''Synchiropus splendidus''. The name "cyanophore" was proposed for the blue chromatophores, or pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells. In all other known cases, the colour blue com ...

The golden mandarin fish (''Siniperca scherzeri''), also known as the leopard mandarin fish, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, an Asian perch from the family Sinipercidae, which is native to eastern Asia (Korea, China, and Vietnam). This species can reach at least in standard length and in weight. It is typically yellowish-brown with blackish-brown speckles ("leopard"), but there are also bright yellow ("golden") individuals, which are particularly prized in Korea and selectively bred in captivity. It is a commercially important fish, but has declined due to overfishing and habitat loss.Liu, L.; X.-F. Liang; and J. Fang (2017).
