Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE You are buying a group of 8 adult female platinum blue miyuki medaka. Each group comes with 8 fish total. You will receive all females. Medaka, Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes), are hardy colorful fish that have been kept as pets in Japan for hundreds of years. Medaka are very peaceful and are great for nano tanks, planted tanks, community aquariums, and ponds. Medaka are hardy like goldfish and are traditionally kept in small ceramic pots and patio ponds in Japan without heating or filtration. Japanese rice fish can tolerate water temperatures from 33-104 degrees Fahrenheit (1-40 Celsius) but prefer more moderate temperatures of 59-82 Fahrenheit (15-28 Celsius). Water pH and hardness are not critical and medaka can thrive in a wide range of water conditions from fresh to brackish. Medaka will eat most foods including flake, pellet, frozen, and live foods. Medaka grow to 1.5” and females can lay 10-20 eggs per day during the breeding season from May to August. Eggs take 7-14 days to hatch depending on temperature. Females will carry fertilized eggs around before depositing them on plants like water hyacinth and java moss. Medaka can lay eggs on spawning mops or spawning beds made from yarn or scrubbing pads. Miyuki (幹之 or みゆき) means “external light.” Miyuki medaka have an iridescent line running along the top of the fish and a blue shimmer on their fins.The fish have a brilliant white sparkle when viewed from above. For best BLUE color: Display fish on a dark-colored background with lighting coming from the side.For best WHITE color: Display fish on a light-colored background with lighting coming from the top. I breed all the medaka out here in Fresno, CA. I ship fish in insulated boxes with ammonia/nitrite/nitrate neutralizer, Seachem Stress Guard, and ammonia absorber granules in breather bags. Live Arrival Guarantee: All fish are guaranteed to arrive alive. If fish are dead on arrival (DOA) please send me two clear pictures of dead fish in unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery for refund of dead fish.
