The Red Mandarinfish (Pterosynchiropus splendidus) is sometimes called a Red Mandarin Dragonet. It belongs to the family named Callionymidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Red Mandarinfish is generally passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pterosynchiropus splendidus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra substrate area, plenty of hiding places, a well established aquarium, and a peaceful environment.
