About this fish
Black Medaka Ricefish is a small, jewel-like killifish/ricefish. Many prefer soft water and take small live/frozen foods; males can spar, so provide cover and watch groupings.
Care tips
- Keep a tight lid — many killifish are accomplished jumpers.
- Offer small live/frozen foods (some ignore dry food).
- Provide dense planting/cover; watch male-to-male sparring.
