Looks almost like a colored frog with fins...

But still a beauty.

I love Mandarins, I remember seeing one as a little child at a pet shop in this big tank. I wanted to take mom back to the salt water section and show her but it went and hid in the coral. I wondered for years and years what type of fish it was called until I finally find a picture of it. They are probably my favorite Salt water fish along with Koran Angels.

@phaloxxx If that's your idea of proof of evolution, you don't understand evolution very well at all. o.O;

[28GallonBowfront]

Do you know anyplace where you can buy green mandarins that are tank raised or are trained to eat prepared foods?
