Nice! I love Ricefish. Is that Salvinia? Looks healthy.

Thank you. I'm hoping to do some breeding projects as well.

Thank you. I'm hoping to do some breeding projects as well.

Same here, I put some fake fry grass in my tetra tank to help with that. Hate to add fake plants but it has worked in the past with other fry.

Medakas are finally added! I got five of the snow whites and five of the orange sparkles.

How are your Medakas working out?
Im looking for some at the moment. Is there a preferred male/female ratio that I should know about? I’ve tried looking for ratio info on the internet for days now and no success.
Due to their use in scientific experiments there’s hundreds of pages of Medaka info on the internet but very little aimed at the fish keeper. It’s all science stuff

Doing well. I say you want more females than males, similar to guppies. A ratio of 1:2 is good for Medaka.

Thank you kindly.

 

[ClownLurch]

How are your Medaka doing? Any breeding?

 

[Crispii]

Doing fine and they're starting to breed

Breeding! Great stuff.
I’ve only seen eggs on one of mine and that was the day after I moved them from QT to community tank. They’ve no chance in there. 12 WCMM, 3 Guppies, 10 Medaka will I think put paid to any eggs or fry. It’s a madhouse in there.
After the next bout of decorating I’m hoping to convince MrsLurch of the pros of getting species tanks to encourage breeding.
Best of luck.
