Description: You are buying a group of 6 red king glitter medaka. This variety is also called red emperor. Each group comes with 6 fish total. I make sure all groups have both males and females. Red king/emperor medaka are orange with abundant glitter/lame. Lame (ラメ) are shiny, glittering scales scattered across the medaka. Their color intensifies with age. Old breeders housed outside in the sun during the breeding season are an impressive reddish-orange. Medaka are: -Very peaceful. They can be kept with any tank mates that aren't large enough to eat them. -Adaptable. Medaka tolerate a wide range of water conditions from soft, acidic water to hard, alkaline water -Extremely Hardy. Rice fish can be kept indoors or outdoors at anywhere from 33-104 F (1-40 C). Aeration is recommended at temperature above 82 F (28 C) -Compact and Adorable. Medaka grow to a maximum of 1.5 inches 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). 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 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. 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-absorbing 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.
