Incredible Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus, Vretenka mandarin) from Morsky svet / Sea world in Prague, Czech republic
Story of the photo: I have always dreamed about having this fish in my gallery so when I spotted this amazing creature during browsing through the Sea world Prague, I got totally excited. For many minutes, I tried to take a shot of it. It was very difficult and I failed many many many times, but finally I managed to gain at least this photo
This photo belongs to me and I can very easily prove, that it was me, who took this shot. So please, respect my copyright if you want to use my work, ask me first to gain my permission, please! Thank you
I love mandarinfish too! I've never seen striped mandarinfish in real life, I've only seen a spotted one, and I have pictures of that fish in my gallery. I've only seen 1 mandarinfish in my life! I want to see the striped someday... Anyway, amazing photo! It's so vibrant and focused!
i think i need to go to the aquarium and get a pic of one to, i was diving in malaysian borneo night after night (dusk is the time they normally come out) in the hope to see one and get a pic, but nope, no photos, did get many awesome pics but i wanted one of this . yours is a great shot though
