About Mandarinfish Seud-muineil

Tha an Seud-muineil Iasg Mandarin na sheud-muineil òir 18k do dh'fhireannach is do bhoireannach, air a bhrosnachadh leis an iasg Mandarin a tha na shamhla air co-sheirm is sonas ann an grunn chultaran, agus a' riochdachadh aonadh is ceanglaichean domhainn cuideachd. Tha an seud-muineil a' nochdadh brìgh corp ildathach an èisg Mandarin, a' cleachdadh diofar dhubharan agus diofar dhathan de Shaphir, Smàrag agus Daoimean mar chlachan-leugach san dealbhadh, gus beothalachd, bòidhchead chreutairean nàdarra, agus fortan a shamhlachadh, a' dèanamh an t-seud-muineil chan ann a-mhàin na ghoireas-caitheamh ach cuideachd na shlighe gus ceangal a dhèanamh ri eag-shiostaman uisge.
