Up close and personal

This is a close up (today's challenge) of our beautiful Mandarinfish. I was in luck that I could capture him in the front of our tank, because he is almost always at the back!

Mandarinfish feed on a variety of live brine shrimp, worms and other natural prey on the rock and the sand. They do not eat any manufactured or frozen food, so you can't feed him yourself. There just needs to be enough natural food in the aquarium. This is also why he is always on the hunt in the back of the tank! :)
