They look cool. Whatās the ideal tank size and recommended breeding procedure? Just buy a pair or a school?Medaka (Oryzias latpies)
The minimum tank size would be 10 gallons, though you can breed them in 5 gallons. Try buying a small group of at least 2 males and 3 females to start.They look cool. Whatās the ideal tank size and recommended breeding procedure? Just buy a pair or a school?
Do you have any recommended online fish suppliers for UK?The minimum tank size would be 10 gallons, though you can breed them in 5 gallons. Try buying a small group of at least 2 males and 3 females to start.
No, sorry.Do you have any recommended online fish suppliers for UK?
Any other suggestions? I like the last one, itās just ide like several options if possibleNo, sorry.
Yeah Iāve seen a couple on eBayA feller in Enfield was selling em on EBay a while back but sold up and went back to Poland iirc. He sold hundreds in one big last auction.
Lot of sellers got them up for sale now.
What are the minimum temps?Hi. Ide love a cold water (because Iāll be keeping it outside in a shed) breeding project. Whatās some relatively easy worthwhile breeding cold water fish species?
Well i havenāt tested because I donāt have the shed yet. But where I live sometimes it gets to minus 3 degrees celcius. Obviously it wouldnāt be that cold in the shed but just for insightWhat are the minimum temps?
I actually love the spined sticklebacks! They are so interesting and fit in my temperature range. Would you recommend buying a group or a pair? And also do you know what tank size ide need? One source says 2ft and another says a 450l pond. I am buying a set of heavy duty garage shelves to keep my tank on so that would be the space I have to work withThere are a bunch of different medakas, so a little legwork would be needed to sort out which and what temperature ranges they can take.
Fish adapted to cooler water are generally larger than small tropicals. I don't know what your laws are, but if you can, I would take a trip to somewhere pretty and catch myself some of your 3 spined sticklebacks. Small, neat, interesting as can be and adapted to your temps as a native fish that stays small.
