Synchiropus picturatus – Spotted Mandarin for Reef Aquarium
Synchiropus picturatus, also known as the spotted mandarin, is a fish with intense and hypnotic colors. Its short and stocky body is adorned with orange, green, and black patterns, sprinkled with circular spots giving it a unique psychedelic appearance. This small fish reaches about 6 cm in adulthood.
A Living Jewel for Reef Aquarium
Native to the Indo-Pacific region, Synchiropus picturatus lives either in pairs or alone, close to the substrate or rocks. Highly appreciated in aquariums for its beauty and peaceful behavior, it shows no aggression towards other fish, invertebrates, or corals. It is a discreet fish, active during the day, which likes to observe its environment from fixed positions.
Maintenance Conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 100 liters
- Temperature: 24°C to 28°C
- pH: 8.2 to 8.4
- Decor: fine sand, numerous hiding places, live rocks
- Water flow: moderate
A Fish for Patient Aquarists
The spotted mandarin requires a mature aquarium for at least 6 months to find abundant microfauna, especially copepods and small crustaceans, which constitute its basic diet. It is reluctant to accept industrial food, although some specimens gradually get used to thawed brine shrimp or mysis. It is recommended to acclimate it in a stable aquarium, without overly dominant species.
Behavior and Compatibility
Synchiropus picturatus is a peaceful fish, perfect for a community reef aquarium. It can live alone or in pairs. In case of danger or at night, it burrows into the sand for protection. Avoid cohabitation with other mandarins or very territorial fish to prevent stress.
Why Choose Synchiropus picturatus?
- Reef fish with a unique spotted pattern
- Peaceful and discreet behavior
- Ideal in a mature reef tank with microfauna
- Compatible with invertebrates, corals, and calm fish
- Small size perfect for tanks starting from 100 liters
The Synchiropus picturatus is an original, magnificent mandarin fish and easy to observe in a well-established aquarium. For reef aquarium enthusiasts looking for a colorful and tranquil fish, this living jewel is an essential choice.

Mandarin bariolé
Premier expérience en achat par VPC.Poisson arrivé en pleine forme, après une acclimatation au goutte a goutte de 30 minutes, celui-ci a regagné son nouvel environnement sans encombre.Au départ craintif ,il est maintenant actif en recherche de microfaune sur PV ,il a tout de suite mangé du congelé en l occurence des artémias.Beau mandarin, très sympathique a observer.Merci récifathome pour l emballage et le soin pris pour le vivant !

Superbe poissons
Animal reçu en pleine forme. Il est superbe est c'est bien acclimaté. Un vrai plaisir de l'observer passer son temps à fouiller les pierres à la recherche de nourriture, d'autant plus amusant que ces poissons possèdent un bec et de superbes couleurs !

Picturatus
Nouvelle commande chez recifathome et je suis toujours aussi satisfait. Mon mandarin s est montré craintif quelques jours mais s est bien acclimaté par la suite. Il se nourrit de la microfaune et accepte quelques artemia. C est peut-être le plus beau poisson de mon aquarium. Bravo à l équipe !

Parfait
Première commande, les Picturatus se portent à merveille. Le premier a tout de suite accepté le congelé. Le second a du passer par quelques cubes d'artémias vivants puis a finis par se jeter sur le congelé. Ils se portent très bien !
