Colorful and Bright Beauty
Mando the Mandarin Fish is bright and colorful. It has raised eyes and a typical pointed mouth as well as relatively large pelvic fins. To crochet for Mando the Mandarin Fish you need green, yellow, red, orange, royal blue, turquoise and black cotton yarn and some filling absorbent cotton.
Instead of scales Mandarin fish have a firm and slimy skin, which gives off a bad smell in the air. The slimy layer on the skin protects mandarin fish from parasites and diseases. Luckily, however, thanks to cotton yarn, our Mando the mandarin fish does not smell bad.
