identifying a fish

[mwehrle]

hi seen this fish in an aquarium only problem is it was missing a name, have read up on the hobby but have yet to set up my tank and thought this would be a nice addition later on, so im in need of its name to find out about its care and size, thanks for the help

That's a Mandarin fish... I want to get one eventually too, but you need a mature tank with lots of live rock to keep it alive as they only eat live pods.

Yeah a manderin goby. You need a large tank, maybe atleast 70 gallons?, so the copepods can make babies. You can get jars of copepods and put them in your tank and let them make babies. I don't know how long you have to wait.

not best beginner fish but easy to take care of if time is taken and research done. look up mandarin fish and see what u find, there will be mixed views, compare them and go with what lines up, nothing is imposable, good luck if u decide on one.
