    There are so many Mandarins that are taken from the ocean only to die in a short period of time. Its great to see that ORA has been able to captive breed these awesome little fish!

    These fish were very small - around 2 inches in length. They were all very healthy looking and active. They would dodge a bit when I got close, making pics difficult.

    Ooooohhhhh I want one!! I've always loved mandarins but was too afraid to get one because of the eating issue.
