The Mandarinfish or Mandarin dragonet (Synchiropus splendidus), 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.

Wow man, look at all the colors, primary and secondary colors, I wonder what they taste like?

Madarins are really cool fish. They are masters at not giving a damn about anything happening around them.

They also have a higher specific gravity than saltwater. They sink like a rock.

They are Zen Fish.

That's not Zen, that's narcissism.

These little appetizers sink down your gullet so fast they probably don't taste like anything.

And they probably wouldn't even notice the thrill of the ride! :p:

See? I've always had trouble with distinguishing those two things....

Trivia -

Can you quote a song lyric that has the word "Mandarin" in it?

Wo xing lai, shui zai yue guang li.
Xia xian yue, rang wo xiang ni.
Bu xiang xing guo lai, shui ming bai?
Pa yan zheng kai, ni bu zai.

Now that's Zen!

Looks like daytime to me, Bruce.

I made these little beauties my wallpaper of the week.

Did you know that "Mandarin" is spelled with four US state postal abbreviations?

Listen to the Mandarin rain
Listen to the wheezing on the make
Oh, listen to my cold break
Every time she squeezes juice

Can't. Stop. LAFFING. :sweat:

Could just said "yes". Showoff.

Ah. Hornsby. Splains that.

Given that they live in Australia, they are probably wondering what you taste like.
