许多珊瑚礁鱼类以其壮观的颜色和图案而闻名，但是在海洋水族馆的爱好中通常可以买到一种特殊的物种，在这方面可以说超过了它们。我说的是绿色的普通话（Synchiropus、溶).
也被称为普通话戈比（尽管这是一家人的龙卷Callionymidae，不是真正的gobiid），蓝色普通话，辉煌的普通话或简单的普通话，S. Splendidusis really indescribable, exhibiting psychedelic swirls, lines, and spots of green, orange, blue, red, and yellow. But, frankly, I can’t do justice to this species’ otherworldly beauty with mere words. To really appreciate it, you just have to look at the accompanying photo or a living specimen.
除了它令人惊叹的颜色外，绿色的普通话还具有可笑的眼睛和一小嘴（暗示其饮食需求，更重要的是）。同样，该物种是性二态性的，男性通常比女性大，并且具有大量延伸的第一背脊。绿色普通话的共同最大长度约为2½英寸。
Another splendid同步性物种
我应该指出S. Splendidus您可能会在当地的鱼类商店遇到一家同样迷幻的，同样大小的同类物同步性picturatus, commonly known as the spotted mandarinfish, the psychedelic mandarinfish, or, confusingly, the green mandarinfish. The care requirements for both species are pretty much identical, so the following information onS. Splendidus也适用于S. picturatusas far as aquarium keeping is concerned.
水生蜂鸟
Perhaps the term most frequently used by hobbyists to describeS. Splendidus是“像蜂鸟一样”。这可能与人们所能提供的类比一样准确。这种鱼通常徘徊在岩石到岩石上，迅速扑向胸鳍，寻找构成自然饮食的微小甲壳类动物和蠕虫，看起来很像蜂鸟或从花朵飞往花朵到花朵以寻找花蜜。
Good news, bad news
S. Splendidusis what I would describe as a “good-news-bad-news” species from the standpoint of aquarium keeping. The good news is, it’s a peaceful, well-behaved fish (with the exception of multiple males kept together) that generally ignores its tankmates. Also, owing to this species’ heavy body-slime production, it tends to be resistant—though, contrary to popular misconception, not immune—to certain ectoparasites, such as加密炎（“海洋ICH”）。
Now for the bad news:S. Splendidus有一个特殊的“阿喀琉斯高跟鞋”，不能被忽视或淡化 - 这是臭名昭著的，因为囚禁在囚禁中饿死。您会看到，野生捕获的标本很少学会接受除活的无脊椎动物以外的其他食物，例如amphipods和copepods(“pods” in hobby parlance). Some do take to non-living foods, such as frozen mysis shrimp, but you can’t depend on it. Even when live pods are available in abundance in an aquarium system, mandarins have the tendency to eradicate them over time, which leaves them vulnerable to starvation.
Does this feeding limitation meanS. Splendiduscan’t be kept successfully in aquariums? Well, not necessarily. There definitely are hobbyists who succeed in keeping the green mandarin. However, they don’t owe their success to luck or happenstance. They succeed because they make every effort to provide a suitable system and to sustain an ongoing supply of pods.
Providing enough pods
Qualitylive rock通常是用豆荚爬行，因此任何水族馆都必须含有大量的水族鱼。实际上，活的岩石越多。作为参考，我曾经在一个75加仑的坦克中保存了一个绿色的普通话，并用90磅的活岩石保存，它仍然设法随着时间的推移将其清洗干净。
应该告诉您的是，如果您打算保留普通话，则可能有必要定期补充其水箱中的豆荚种群 - 即使该坦克相当大，并且塞满了活岩。为了实现这一目标，您应该/应该：
- 不时旋转新的活岩。
- 实际上是引入现场Amphipods和Copepods，可从许多零售商（LFS和在线供应商）获得。
- Add a productive refugium to your system. This is essentially a separate tank or sump that’s connected to your display tank and shares the same system water. Its purpose (in this case) is to provide a safe, fish-free haven for pods to proliferate. As water is pumped or flows into the display tank from the refugium, pods will occasionally be swept into the display tank, thus bolstering the population there.
- 避免添加其他将与普通话竞争的鱼类为同一微型FAUNA食物来源竞争。
Whatever methods you use to sustain the pod population, it’s still important to keep a close eye on your mandarin to ensure it’s getting enough to eat. You don’t want to see your specimen behaving lethargically or developing a pinched-in belly (购买时检查此症状, as well). These are clear evidence of advanced starvation.
Captive-bred mandarins
近年来，我们的爱好是一个非常令人兴奋的发展，是普通话的成功捕获繁殖。圈养的标本可能比野生捕获的标本更为昂贵，但是它们具有在市售的非生存食品上饲养的重要优势。因此，爱好者应该更容易喂养。这并不是说它们是“防弹的”，但我会在水族馆环境中给圈养的普通话更好的长期生存几率。
