About Medaka: Japanese Ricefish
Even though Japanese rice fish (Medaka, Oryzias latipes) may still be exotic in our fish tanks at home in its home country Japan it has an ambitious fan base. The breeding of colored Medaka with clubs, breeding registers, their own magazines and an active scene is an inflammatory hobby since decades. It is not just about a small ornamental fish, because a Medaka is more: It is about Japanese history, scientific confusion, Japanese printing technique, space travel, breeding methods and much much more... Maybe the Medaka is the right killifish for you too? The requirements of a Medaka in your fish tank or mini pond are low. Keeping is easy and maintenance breeding is manageable even for beginners. The breeding of color variants in your own breeding lines can become a fascinating, demanding but joyful task which quickly ends in countless tanks full of small beautiful fish from which you cannot take your eyes off anymore.
