CHF 22.50
This couple of Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus) adds some serious colour to your day! This tote bag, made from 100% organic cotton, is incredibly versatile. Beach bag, shopping bag, travel bag, or just as a present, it will make its new owner happy for sure.
Fun fact: Mandarinfish, renowned for their vibrant colours and intricate patterns, possess a fascinating secret: they lack scales! Instead, their skin is coated in a layer of mucus, which gives them their glossy appearance.
More fun facts: In the evenings during sunset, the male perform elaborate displays, fluttering their fins and chasing females to attract a mate. Once a female chooses a male, they press their bellies closely together and rise to the top of the reef, sinking down and start to rise again multiple times before releasing eggs and sperm simultaneously in a cloud, ensuring external fertilization.
The eggs hatch in about 24 hours. The freshly born larvae then drift in the open ocean for about 2 weeks, before settling on a reef to start their life as beautiful Mandarinfish.

Fish are aquatic vertebrates characterized by their streamlined body, gills for breathing, and fins for locomotion. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colours, adapting to diverse underwater environments from oceans to freshwater rivers and lakes. Their scales provide protection and reduce friction as they move through water. With a remarkable diversity of over 34,000 known species, fish play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey.
