Mandarin Fish.



Easily my favorite fish. These live out in the Pacific and are named after the fact that their colors are vivid like the robes of Imperial Chinese mandarin. As you can see in the top picture, the female (left) has slightly different coloration than the male (right). But both are ridiculously cool.

If you ever find yourself in Chicago, they have these at the Shedd Aquarium. Probably a lot of other places, too, but that's the last time I remember seeing one.
