i keep them in a pond outside in the uk, temperature as low as -4..... i started with 6 last year now have 50! and they have survived winter
Can i ask where in the UK you sourced them? Trying to get hold of some!
@@MAsk-ix4uf Any luck? I'm looking for some myself
I kept medaka for years and yes they prefer low flowing water. The term Medaka means "Top eye". The surface is where they like to spend most of their time. Food on surface are readily eaten compare to food at the bottom. The light cycles and temperature are essential for breeding. Outside, they breed from April to August.
Thanks for the tips. Makes sense.
If you want to stimulate their breeding, you want the water temperature above 67F and 11hrs or longer light cycle. They seems to be okay with normal light color, as long as you simulate the spring/summer daylight period. They will breed year round if the temp and light requirements are met, but they will have a shorter life span. Normal life cycle, they will live about 2 to 3 years.
+aaryuhi awesome. Thanks for the insight.
Aquarium Co-Op where in Washington state is your store i might be close to me
***** thks hes actually only a couple hours away from me i might have to go sometime
When I was in elementary school in Japan, we kept them as our class pets. Being in charge of taking care of them was a coveted duty among all us kids, and we took turns learning how to properly care for them. I love these adorable little fish!
Re ''the flow'', think of where these Rice Fish originate from....Rice Paddies!! the water is quite quiet, slow flow.
I remember you swooning over these when you were in Japan....congrats on getting them!
I'm excited to play with em.
Aquarium Co-Op where in Washington state is your fish store?
Aquarium Co-Op I would like to buy a pair of rice fish from you
Aquarium Co-Op where in Washington state is your fish store
+Antonio Baskin Edmonds, washington
Good morning Cory and everybody at Aquarium Co-op!!! I love Japanese Medaka rice fish... I'm so excited about all these different color strains!! I have the orange cap, and orange madokas from Carlos @Your Average Fish Keeper . I've had the daisy blue eyes that came from @Peplin Creek Aquatics and @Foxie's Fishes.. they are the most beautiful, incredible and fascinating little fish that have been easy for me to keep. I enjoy watching the breeding and the way they scatter their eggs through the plants!! The fry do very well !!
You got some incredible new colors and types that I haven't seen before!! They just make you want to collect every kind there are ♥️
I totally understand how excited you are to get these ♥️♥️♥️ they are so Super Geek Worthy 😂👍💥🔥♥️
WoW thanks Cory for sharing all these beauties with us !!!
I hope you, the fish fam, and everyone at the Co-op have a wonderful and blessed day!!!!🙏♥️🌿🐟🌿👍👍👍
Not a question lol just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They have brought my passion for this hobby back to life!!
If you haven't seen it, there's a neat article you can find online, written by Mike Hellweg, in TFH magazine. The eggs are actually held by threadlike internal filaments, which I find utterly fascinating, though not every ricefish species does it this way. The eggs are fertlized internally, held by the female for a few days, then 'laid', where they are pulled around on their filaments until they brush off onto a plant. I had the best success using frogbit with long, long roots as a spawning media.
The beta with the yellow princess is STUNNING!
They are awesome!
I also like Rice Fish!
I keep a lot There are so cute!
Awesome. Finally... Rice Fish are here!!!! Congrats on the new fish!😀
they look like they need to color up and all that then get the video. They are cool and Exciting
Love your channel - I use to keep tons of these in Japan! (Theres loads of literature in Japanese as they've been kept as pets for a few centuries in Japan - more than willing to translate a few)
In the wild in Japan you see them a lot in low flowing and usually shallow areas like rice paddies, ponds, and irrigation areas around the rice paddies (which I assume is the origin of their English name). Its actually part of the reason why they're endangered in the wild, more and more irrigation systems are getting concrete walls which flows too quickly for them (along with varying other reasons). They'll hang out on the surface looking for stuff like bugs that fall in and mosquito larvae. When I kept them in Japan just kept it super simple - no pump just loads of plants really stimulate to breed. I don't think the pump will be a problem as they are super durable fish but I agree that the water flow might be a tad stressful for them? If you want to breed them just keep it warm, above 18C. I've heard from people if they're in heated tanks they will breed everyday, in the wild its a seasonal thing and they breed in the warmer months. Hope thats of some use!
Thanks for your thorough input.
I am in Washington State too & thinking I'd like to have some mini-ponds with these fish outside, but I live in the foothills, in the woods where we have lots of wildlife. How big a problem are predators with these little fish?
Great looking fish! They're very cool looking! I'm happy that you finally got them!
+Brian Corcoran's Aquatics now I gotta setup some permanent tanks for em.
Oh YEAH! can't wait to see the future videos!
Beautifu, beautiful fish! Love it!
good luck breeding them Cory! These fish would work great for a small pond!
Wow love those white rice fish !
loving the koi bettas
great vid cory keep it going
Awesome video Corey! Wishing you much success with your business! Have fun!
+JacobsAquarium thanks. Hope all is well with yours as well.
Aquarium Co-Op We're doing great! 😊😊 When I'm in the area, I'll stop by. Have a great day my friend!
Congrats on your new fish! I've had filter trouble in one of my betta fishes tanks and got it working again somehow. :)
Awesome! In definitely going to want some offspring
Aquarium Co-Op
You keep very well.
MEDAKA is difficult to keep in an indoor aquarium.
I keep it on the balcony of the apartment.
(Now hibernaing)
The sky-red medaka, I have, appear in an almost neon red and the white are silver in color. The yellow have a gold and blond color.
They make a nice screensaver if the filter is on moderate flow; they swim around all day. I have them in a 10 gallon bubble-vase which is a very large fishbowl.
Just got some daisys blue rice fish! Love this video
Wow! I'm already really taken with the white rice fish, I'd love to get my hands on a few of those!
grats Cory enjoy them
awesome finally got some congrats Cory hopefully breeding is a success
I hope so!
It's so funny that U have these fish because I was just doing some research on them last night.
+John's Aquarium been trying to get em for months.
Tends to occur in coastal waters but is adaptable and has been collected in a range of habitat-types, from strongly brackish, tidally-influenced mangrove swamps to acidic, freshwater forest streams, rice paddies, agricultural canals, major river basins, pools and oxbows.
Been binging aquarium co op and simply betta lately
This is like a "level unlocked" to find these after so long. :)
For sure. I'm loving em.
Hey Cory, so I went down to my LFS here in Northern Japan and they sell rice fish for a dollar. There white with blues eyes. I really don't know much about them.
Here we are several years later and now aquabid is filllled with them
They definitely swam to the lower levels of the aquarium when you had the air/flow turned up. I think you were right on the money in your observation.
Fwiw, most ricefish prefer water with next to no current. They tend to inhabit areas that have been flooded, like rice paddies, where water flow is almost non-existent.
They are so pretty! I have two males of the golden type, but the store had no females at all. Wish you were local, I'd buy them all. I keep Daisy's ricefish already, very fond of them, but it's hard to not love these colourful cousins.
nice fish
YAY finally! please breed them so you can eventually ship them
Great pick up. Congrats. I know what is to get a fish you have been chasing for months. I am currently trying to find the splash Tetra. I bet they would really love Sera Daphnia. Have fun keep smiling.
+Brian's Opinion/Comments splash tetras are fun for sure.
late comment but daphnia is medaka’s favorite food I believe.
I just watched your video of Pet Freed in Kyoto,Japan and they had the water flowing pretty strong in their tubs of rice fish.They do seem to like the still water though.Beautiful fish,I would love to keep them!
+Thomas keider yeah, I'll observe and test with the. In the coming weeks.
Nice!
Cory's like, they're all mine! Mine! Mine!!! Lol, I'm sure you'll be the next hot spot to get rice fish in the US!
Who knows, I just know I wanted them.
These fish are top view almost exclusively, thats to say only one or two varieties are actually meant for viewing in an aquarium side on. So they're generally always better looked at from above as this is where the colour and scale interest is concentrated, much like a koi-carp. No they dont like flowing water and will die of stress if constantly swimming against even a gentle flow. A very gentle tiny bubble is what they love, not sure what its called but in japan the air is mixed with the water before it goes into the aquarium, when it enters it causes almost no flow at all. Generaly a filter is not needed for these guys but rather dense planting like guppy grass. I have platinum blue, platinum green, white and purple and couldn't be more enchanted with them. They all came in a batch these various colour platinum. They shine like precious metal in the sunlight, which they love basking in in winter and anytime really. They do spend almost all their time on the surface. The fins are trimmed in fluorescent blue, green or what ever the base colour is. No deformities luckily, extremely hardy little fish that grow extremely quickly with the right foods. I also have orange and white piebald ones and black. The black has longer broader fins so is quite dramatic, quite a different type as are most of the types from each other in size shape etc. The blacks look a bit like little Betta males, a rich dark black sometimes with glitter stars. They love their food, live food, daphnia and dried live food, high protein guppy food or Medaka dried daphnia or purpose made Medaka food from Hikari, deshelled brine shrimp naupili. Guppy food is a good stand by. Live Brine shrimp hatchlings are perfect for the babies but adults also truly love them. These fish are amongst the few species of fish that can actually recognise each others facial features, yea believe it or not, they also recognise their keepers so its worth making freinds with them when they will actually sit in your hand by the hundreds. Certainly one of the cutest freindly aquarium fish around.
Hey there Corey, i own around 10 platinum Oryzias latipes and that's their natural behavior they enjoy swimming at the surface of the water and swimming against the sides of the tank. Once they feel comfortable in their new homes they breed like crazy I gravel vac around 20-30 eggs per week.
+Calvin Basilio thanks for the info :)
Hi Calvin. If you live in the US, would you be willing to sell any fish, or eggs? I've been looking for these for many years now and still can't find a source in the US
If the are from a pond/rice pond situation they may not like a lot of surface agitation.
Lol the species sunday from Rachel is about ricefish aswell!!
Yeah those are a different species of rice fish. They are fun, I keep them in my store frequently.
Aquarium Co-Op yea just saw her vid I think those that you have are way cooler loocking
Pond fish!!! Put them in the pond that has the bug zapper above it! Lol
Aquatic arts sells these on their website for 3 for 16 but really it 4 for 16usd. They sell their "Youkihi" var of the orange madaka rice fish
I just got some blue daisy rice fish... they look so good.... it hurt to move them to my outdoor pond
Rice rice baby :D
I see what you did there :P
They school a lot tighter than most nano fish in my short experience, too
Man those are such cool fish! Where did you get those specimens from, I've been looking everywhere.
HI Corey.. this are really cool.. I love the white ones too. Are they full size or do they get bigger? Very exciting when you finally get something you have been looking for for a while!!
+DebTim A CANADIAN Girl they are close to full grown
Very cool fish..
My zebra Danios pregnant and I just separated the female and male so I could then seperate the eggs and those fish look beautiful I have to check these out
They look pretty cool, buuuut I finally got a Puffer, so I'm in love right now.
What type did ya get?
A Pea Puffer, who is sitting happily in my 5 gallon tank on my computer desk.
+VillagerSparky nice
Sup taco leader! Cory I love all your videos and keep up the good work. It's been 2 months since the turtles eggs were found so how long left till they hatch and when's the next fishroom update?
Within the next 30 days they should hatch. Been doing some re arranging and working on the wife's tank currently. Added co2 to it yesterday, moved in the wild caught angels and barbatus corydoras in tonight etc.
For the people who are like "but cory, they're swimming around and active, isnt that a good thing?", Not necessarily. Like how a betta is in favor of a low flow, these guys probably would want the same thing. These guys are not river fish and live in environments that have little to no flow. The reason why they strive in the motionless waters is because the rice plants and other plants that live in those patties consume all the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. And its not just one or a few plants that consumes all the waste, its A LOT. If you ever walk in a patty field, its acres and acres of plants.
Cool rice fish! Didn't know they were cold water.
+L.R.Bretz's Aquatics yeah, you should do em outside and you could probably set your ponds to like 55 degrees or something.
Could save me some energy and $.
What is that waterlily in with the sky reds? I want one!
Medaka!
You still keeping any medaka? I'm looking for more strains.
yeah, Medaka likes still water like guppy
Use a spray bar. They remind me of killifish.
Corey, any updates on your Medaka fish?
I have some in my pond and I wanna know if you can keep them with goldfish
Medeka males like to guard females and dominant males chase off less dominant males,
They can live in a pond in winter in England but not with big fish like koi etc obviously 🐟
They have a unique way of feeding, they can’t just grab food like other species, they can only take feed from the side, so if a morsel or tiny creature is just to the right of their face or left, then they snatch it, but not if it’s right in front as they can’t see it,
They are mainly top feeders, unique fish
Do you have any medaka strains going? Any eggs? I'll have lots of gold in a month or two...
Do they live in the rice fields naturally? If so, that water is still in those fields and mosquito ridden :)
Are these rice shrimp fendly with the tiny shrimp and do more big fish revew
Maybe your right. Rice fields have pretty calm waters. They are line bred but they're not called rice fish out of nothing.
Sometimes they are flighty when in an aquarium with glass all around. Can freak them out. Like ponds beter.
Best of luck breeding them! I would love to have some. Amazonas did a great piece on them a few months ago. They interviewed a bunch of the breeders in Japan and it was interesting how much effort they have put into getting the different colors. One of my lfs here had a blue variety, but I didn't have the room to keep them. They definitely like slow flowing water. They are accustomed to living in rice fields and ponds historically, which have very slow to no flow. Keep up the great work.
+Josh Black we shall see how they go in the fish room :)
Hello i know this is an old video but do you have any available?
Hi Cory, I was wondering if you could help me. My goldies have just layer eggs but I don't have the option of hatching brine, would liquid fry be ok followed by crushed flakes?
Thanks
Stuart
+Aquatics Hobbyist I think you'll be able to raise some on the liquifry yes. Ideally you'd have live brine though.
Aquarium Co-Op thank you, I will try and get some brine set up, but wanted a contingency plan!
I'm not sure what the surface agitation would be like with an UG filter, or reverse UG . Maybe these fish could benefit from it.
Yeah, I think they would do well with one.
Hey Cory, on those sponge filters you use, I noticed you don't use the included lift tube. Do you just drop an air stone into it then?
he does he uses the never clog airstone
+Ryan McCullough airdromes but no left tube.
I’m new to the fish hobby, are rice fish hard to find? The white rice fish?
You've mentioned long fin neons and now rice fish. Have you ever listed out your full 'holy grail' list?
+tbarim pretty much the only thing left is a fly ricer turtle.
Hi...Cory its almost gonna be a yr. From u getting the jricefish....have they spawn yet? and are u gonna sell them? I loved the white ones
We have some fry from them being out in the ponds. Currently no plans on selling any, just building up numbers.
reverse flow under gravel filter with rice fish? might be something to try.
Yeah, I'm thinking even just a normal undergravel would work well.
That would be cool too. I will been keeping a eye on those rice fish and hope you have lots of success with them. Thank you and keep up the good work.
How big do they get? very cool, love your planted tank to :)
about 2 inches.
Lol you need to "fish out" the fry haha see what u did there
hey cory, could u plz tell me what is the name of your fish room led light?
I use finnex Stingrays in my fish room. www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/lights/products/finnex-stingray-led-lights?variant=17546455748
Medaka live in still water, no wonder they freak out when you turned up the air.
I need HELP! My pleaco is laying up side down and is not moving but he is breathing I think it's a swim bladder issue because he can't swim right any idea on what I can do?
+Roman Noddles I'd start by checking g water quality. Maybe ammonia or nitrite I. The water?
Awesome fish! Couple questions: when you QT these fish, what are the medications you do in your full treatment? General Cure + Ich X? Do you sell those on your site? I'd love to buy from you instead of Amazon!
+Kevin Cunningham all are on my website. Including the tutorial on how to do it. The missing g med from your list is erythromycin.
I only redose if I notice an active infection or parasite etc. This is to ward off ick, fungal and bacterial infections from shipping/transferring from the pet store etc.
Aquarium Co-Op perfect! Just bought the meds from you and couldn't stop myself from buying more stuff to get to $75 in the cart for the free plant! Hahaha
+Kevin Cunningham gotcha! We will get those shipped out for ya today. Thanks!
cold water nano?I bet rice fish are gunna get popular fast. people love nano tanks and a nano tank you don't have to heat is a huge bonus.
You'd think that, but normal lampeye killifish, celestial pearl danios etc barely sell in comparison to a neon tetras. Probably 500 to 1. All for the same nano tank unfortunately :(
Aquarium Co-Op. I guess your right, you see way more nano tetra tanks than anything else.
+Name Unavailable. I wish it was easier to convince people on nano fish.. part of the problem is that neon tetras are cheap.
Aquarium Co-Op. they are, but I find neons delicate compared to other nano 'in my opinion'. my favorite I have kept is probably zebra danio. never had a problem with mine.
+Name Unavailable. Yeah zebra danios are really tough. But I find some people don't like how active/nippy they are. Some people only want calm fish.
Did you have success with them?
heyyyyy
I would like to get some of the white ones do you have an estimate on the cost
lol I guess I should have watched the whole video before I asked
What is the plant in the tank with the white ones?
And why do you say you need to move the snails out if you want to breed them? Will they eat the eggs?
+William Bezodis bolbitus African fern. Yes the snails will eat the eggs once they stop carrying them on their tail fin and deposit them on the plants.
Interesting to see Bolbitis growing floating like that. Looks cool.
Interesting that the snails will eat eggs, I've only bred livebearers before so hadn't heard that. Will snails eat most eggs?
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, most snails will eat eggs.
idk if its just me but the site doesnt want to load right.
Hey Corey, I have a Crown Tail Betta (female) and now I want a Koi Betta and the Betta that was in the tank with the Orange Rice fish. If I have them in one tank will they fight even if they're all female?
Joseph Jones if you are sure they are all female it should be fine. males will attack eachother
timmy280 Alright, will 10 gallons be enough?
An update??
Do you still breed these?
Thanks for sharing..im singaporean
Kindly give me the address where to buy.
Cheers
Han
I am having trouble finding these. Can someone please lead me towards the right direction. Thank you.
Think about it Rice fish live in rice patties How many rice patties do you know of that have high water flow??💯🤔
