These Orange Youkihi Medaka Ricefish are excellent beginner fish, they are hardy and have stunning colour. They are very peaceful and active in the aquarium, always searching around occupying all areas of the aquarium if there is lots to explore. They do really well outdoors in container ponds during the spring/summer and into the fall.
Ricefish are cool water species and do not require a heater and their filter requirements are minimal. Although they can tolerate temperatures much higher than the average nano fish, ideally maintaining the water in the 60’s-70’s F is ideal. a room temperature aquarium is perfect if they are kept indoors. They do not like much water flow in the aquarium so a sponge filter is the way to go.
