It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade, where it is commonly known as the Spotted Mandarin , Psychedelic mandarin or Target Mandarin . It grows to a size of 7 cm in length. They have thick slime on their skin that inhibits many types of parasitic infection and minimises the risk of disease following stress or physical trauma. This seems to help protect them from some other more aggressive fish. In the aquarium Reef Compatible? Yes Feeding? Natural feeding habits entail constantly browsing the substrate for copepods and other small invertebrates. Systems with an additional Refugium population biology refugium are ideal, as these can help to generate suitable levels of food organisms as it prefers to peck on live rock. Because of this it can be a hard fish to keep. It can, however, be weaned on to frozen food such as Mysis , Artemia and other prepared foods but these alone are unlikely to sustain them, particularly if it is having to compete with other tankmates. How compatible is it with other fish? This fish is peaceful and does better with peaceful tankmates.

A Claude glass or black mirror is a small mirror, slightly convex in shape, with its surface tinted a dark colour. Bound up like a pocket book or in a carrying case, black mirrors were used by artists, travellers and connoisseurs of landscape and landscape painting . Black Mirrors have the effect of abstracting the subject reflected in it from its surroundings, reducing and simplifying the colour and tonal range of scenes and scenery to give them a painterly quality.
