Commonly confused for the simple Orange Medaka, the Yokihi features richer, red-orange tones that contrast beautifully against colorful aquarium plants and aquarium substrates. Medaka are popular in pond-style tanks and provide a unique top-down view for the hobbyist to enjoy. Like other species of Ricefish, Yokihi Medaka are very hardy and adaptable to a wide variety of aquarium parameters and salinity levels.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Ricefish are peaceful and should be housed in the aquarium with other peaceful fish and larger peaceful invertebrates. Yokihi Ricefish will do best in schools of 6 or more and display the best color and behavior when kept in appropriately sized groups. Ricefish do have the potential to jump, so it is recommended that coverage be available if a well-fitting lid is not being used. Like most species of aquarium fauna, the Yokihi Ricefish will appreciate the addition of live aquarium plants to the tank as well.<br></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Yokihi Ricefish are omnivorous and will eat a wide variety of fish food. High-quality flakes, pellets, live or frozen will be readily accepted by Ricefish. </p> <p><span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Medaka Ricefish Care<br data-mce-fragment="1"></strong></span><a href="https://buceplant.com/blogs/news/japanese-rice-fish-care-guide" title="japanese rice fish care guide" target="_blank">Click here for a complete Japanese Rice Fish Care Guide</a></span></p> <ul> <li>Temperament: Peaceful - Should be kept with peaceful species</li> <li>Average Size: 1-1.5"</li> <li>Diet: Omnivore</li> <li>Tank Size: 10G minimum is highly recommended for a school</li> </ul>
