ORA Blue Mandarin
Quick View$100.00ORA’s captive bred Mandarin Dragonets do NOT require live foods. Ours readily feed on pellet and frozen foods, making them an easier to keep and ethical alternative to difficult wild caught Mandarins!Â
Synchiropus splendidus – Mandarin Dragonets are inarguably one of the most beautiful species on earth, which makes them very popular aquarium fish. Our mandarins have a mix of blue-green and red coloration on the body and deep blue accents on the fins. The coloration may appear different in varying lighting spectrums.  These photos show what our mandarins typically look like.
Unfortunately, the natural diet of wild caught mandarins is live food, which can be tedious and costly for many new hobbyists to provide, especially in immature or small tanks. Even if provided the best captive conditions, wild caught mandarins often succumb to wounds inflicted by spear guns or toxic cyanide used during the wild collection process. An overwhelming number of wild caught Mandarin Dragonets die in captivity for these reasons.

ORA Neon Dottyback
Quick View$45.00Vibrant, hardy, and full of personality, the ORA Neon Dottyback is a truly stunning fish, showcasing electric blue and bright orange coloration that pops in any aquarium.
This species requires an aquarium of 30 gallons or larger, with plenty of live rock and caves to provide hiding places. Neon Dottybacks are curious, bold, and moderately territorial, making them best suited for tanks with other semi-aggressive to aggressive tank mates.
Keeping more than one dottyback is possible if the aquarium provides ample rockwork and hiding spaces. In some cases, adding multiple small individuals at the same time can even result in the formation of a spawning harem.
Diet: Readily accepts frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and other meaty foods.
Hardy and captive-bred by ORA, the Neon Dottyback is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking for bold color, resilience, and engaging behavior.
While they may nip at very small ornamental shrimp, they usually leave corals and most other inverts alone. They are also known for helping reduce unwanted pests like bristle worms, making them a great addition to a pest-control-minded reef keeper’s system.
