Japanese Rice Fish Aquarium. This subtle difference should be kept in mind when setting up your own Medaka environment. Last week I got my first Medaka Jap.
The tank does not have to be large with 10 gallons being fine when kept singly. The Japanese rice fish also known as the medaka is a member of genus Oryzias the only genus in the subfamily Oryziinae. These fish are considered beneficial organisms to humans because they eat juvenile mosquitoes and small plankton.
A few days ago I put spawning mops in both tanks I have 2 variants so they can get used to them.
In Japan these fish are typically kept in hand crafted ceramic water lily pots near or around the entrance to their home to make guests feel welcome. They are also known as the Medaka or the Japanese killifish. It is euryhaline occurring in both brackish and freshwater. The Japanese rice fish Oryzias Latipes are one of the most popular pet fish that people have raised in aquariums for a long time.
