I ordered these eggs from @trapaquatics on Instagram! Dm them if you’re interested in getting any!
Medaka, or Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes), boasts a storied history as one of the oldest aquarium fish, cultivated in Japan for centuries. With ties to rice paddies and remarkable adaptability, medaka became a subject of scientific fascination. Its transparent embryos and ease of breeding propelled it to global prominence as a model organism for embryology and genetics research in the 20th century. Today, medaka remains a sought-after species in the aquarium hobby, combining historical significance with ongoing contributions to scientific advancements.
They lay adhesive eggs on aquatic plants or other surfaces. To hatch the eggs, you can place them in a separate container with appropriate water conditions, maintaining a temperature around 78-80°F (25-27°C) and providing gentle aeration. The eggs usually hatch within a week, and you can then raise the fry with suitable food for their size.

What a cool video. Love your stuff. It’s simple and approachable for those new to the hobby. Contest scaping and stuff is great, but this type of content is the heart of the hobby.
Thanks! I just like to grow plants and chill out with my shrimp 🤣
This was great. Very helpful too. Thanks
It was a nice sharing.
Thank you! 😄🙌
Really enjoy your Instagram and it's cool to see the longer format here. What food were you using when they were really small? And what type of medaka were the eggs from? Any particular strain?
Thank you! I was using Ken’s fish high protein fry granule. Very affordable food and they have a ton of variety. The eggs were purchase as “mixed” so I don’t really know exactly what they are. It’s looking like they’re mostly mixed sparkle.
What kind of food you gave them can I have link please
I wanted to know what plant this is in here? It’s so little and full of texture
Pearlweed!
How do you make sure not to suck up the fry during water changes?
They move out of the way and I move around them.
did you use tap or RO water? also any info on the food you used to feed them? cheers
Dechlorinated tap water. I feed them a mix of all the random fish foods I have ground up into tiny pieces
what do u feed them with?
High protein granules a bunch of different food crushed up like blood worms, daphnia, flakes
How many gallons is this tank?
4 gallons

Thank you! Depending where you are in the world, you can find them online! Eggs are a little harder to find though.

@@Taylorscapesgo to great bridge aquatics in Tipton (I think it’s called the aquatics factory) it’s a small store not to far away from there (about an hour) there’s only one guy that runs it but they have lots of uncommon fish like Medaka rice fish and other rare aquatic animals, I’ve been there before it’s really good
