Hello! I have Medaka fishes carrying eggs in a separate fish bowl at the moment with water hyacinths. Just wanna make sure, I don't need to put a male Medaka fish with them right?
Well you need male and female or the eggs won't be fertile. The males still have to fertilize the females immediately before they carry eggs) sounds like you may have a male in there anyhow though. As the females tend not to lay many non-fertike eggs...they save the protein for their own metabolism generally
@@Fishtory Thank you for your quick response. The female Medakas that are carrying eggs were from our outdoor patio pond along with the males. But Im worried the eggs or the future fry will get eaten so I decided to put females that are carrying eggs and eggs I found on the plants from the patio pond in a large bowl.
An update! The eggs from the bowl are beginning to hatch! I put the females back in the pond once they dropped all their eggs.
@@icecreamyummycookie right on! Must be a male in the mix :)
@@Fishtory I find this odd. All the reading I’ve done and all the videos I’ve seen, people say the male fertilizes the eggs AFTER the female pushes them out in to the sack..they even show videos of how the male dance around with the female and eventually gets parallel with her and fertilizes the eggs in the sack. Then the female rubs them off against a plant or a spawning mop.
Thank you for the interesting video. I happen to be one of those hobbyists that work with Aquatic Arts. I have to give a chuckle out load every time you mention that. They are great group of people. I know they are looking for black Medaka. I hope to be on the inside track when they do get some in.
Right on! Thanks for working with them, also! Ive been friendly with them going on almost 4 years now, and they are just my favorite independently owned aquatic website
I am currently breeding my ‘black’ Medaka and sparkling Blues
I bought 5 Black Medaka from Quinn's fish, on Amazon and received 6. I told him I wanted females to breed and he listened. This was a month ago and I'm atm raising 20 fry too with more eggs on my mop. I'm thinking of selling them later when I can just mop yarn with eggs clinging to them.
Right on! Thanks for sharing the awesome fish source :D
I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻
Very much enjoying the Ricefish series of videos.
Thanks!
I will be doing another video on growing out fry in several ways also- then one episode on the rare morphs we havent ever seen here in the USA or Europe
Thanks for the info i have wild caught indian rice fish and recently i caught a fry its my first wild fish being able to breed .i always wondered why they had eggs on the females belly now i know.
Best of luck! That is awesome. You are a fish breeder now!
@@Fishtory Thank you very much. I want to be a biologist and your channel help me a lot in getting the scientific explanation behind everything
Hello Again! I got my Red Caps last week and they went in the pond yesterday, and I'm hoping for the best! There's no raccoons in my neighborhood, but the birds are another thing... working on a lid lol
Score! Let me know how it goes hehe
These are beauties!!! Very interesting and thank you for sharing!!!❤️❤️
Peiple in Japan:
We keep them in buckets, outside, no care at all, we don't know when they breed.
People in the USA:
We need to ad methylene blue.
I have the gold and pearl medaka sourced from aquatic arts. The full grown females lay 10-15 eggs a day, every day.
Yeah that's great! These are close to that prolific (but dont lay daily).
It’s surprising. I had 7 pearl and 7 gold in the same tank. I have separated them to other tanks and now have over 100 fry in that tank. I’m curious to see what kind of color expression comes from the bunch.
Hi! the redcap i ordered are breeding. i did what you demonstrated in the video and I have fry hatching. Very cool, Thank you!!
That's awesome to hear! Im excited for you! Let me know how it's going in a few more weeks :) very rewarding
Awesome video and great information! I picked up 10 orange medaka awhile back. They haven't starter breeding yet but they should start soon! I'm super excited
Did you purchase them from a website or somebody who ships fish by chance? Hehe I want to some orange and or black lines at some point
@@Fishtory I bought them from a seller on ebay but he sells on aquabid as well as has some on there right now! Gallo007
@@heres_the_sauce thank you!
Not kilifish anymore! Turns out they are related to halfbeaks and flying fish.
Oh really?! Very cool. Interesting. Thank you
I got 10 Daisy's rice fish, last week from Aquatic Arts. I blame you! :)
Right on hahaha
I have 15 black medaka
Right on! Where do you live?
@@Fishtory uk London
Beautiful!!
I received 4 daisy's rice, really varied in size.lovely shimmery blue along the sides of the largest. Settled in, good eaters. I got them for a small patio pond, but think it's a little too chilly still here on east coast. :) Watching your channel closely for updates :) Take care.
Nice! Best wishes on that
Noice! I have 6 juvie orange medaka that I hope to spawn soon too. my first foray into egg laying, tanks for all the good info
Of course, my friend! Good luck when you start spawning them
Some look like the Blue Eye Medaka. I think your water flow is a bit fast for them. They come from rice paddies where the flow is slow. How long have you been keeping them with such a fast water circulation. They can be kept in a mini pond with no air supple, just lots of plants.
Definitely true. I've kept them over a year in flowing water and still water alike. So far I haven't noticed any difference in health
@@Fishtory Good for you. I love seeing them in a biotope from above and they do well without bubbler or heaters. Only this summer raising the fry has been more challenging for me. That is where I use slow air with filter, but your tips have also helped. I don't have aquaria as I like the large bowl/pot habitats. It will be interesting to see how many years they live. I guess it is early days for you, too, to know if fast flow shortens their lives over slow flow as they use a lot of energy keeping up with the current. Anyway, glad to see others enjoying Medaka. They've been my lockdown interest. I wanted cold water fish for my outdoor mini-pond so they could stay out in the winter. Have you seen Ryo Watanabe's video on his uncle's Medaka in Japan? The Japanese are experts in their care and how to make them look so natural. Thanks for responding. Cheers
Pretty cool!
Can't wait for the babies 😃
Dude, something crazy happened in my outdoor tub. There are baby fish in there.
But I’ve only been keeping 3 feeder goldfish for a few months, the young swim horizontally, but are still very small, at first I thought they were larvae . How is this possible ? I’m rather surprised.
Sounds like some sort of larvae... if they move jerky or flex at all, its probably dragonfly nymphs, or maybe some sort of noseum? But it could be gold fish easily
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium , that makes sense, I only thought of mosquito larvae but when I caught one to feed my fish I noticed it was something else, I’m gonna try to examine one closer, thanks!
For the algorithm!
do you need to put a airstone on your breeder box while waiting for them to hatch?
Not with rice fish :)
cool thanks
Hello... can we put Medaka fish together with cherry shrimps? Can Medaka fish breed when they are together with cherry shrimps?
Sure...they may eat a few babies...but if you give the shrimp enough spots to Hide under rocks, wood or plants, it's totally fine
@@Fishtory yeah I put it in 12 gallons of pond made of large bucket with rocks and aquatic plants in it 😅
Where can I buy these Rice fish or their eggs?
They're at aquaticarts.com ( also for 15% off use code FISHTORY15 if you'd like)
So do rice fish live in rice fields in Asia?
Yup
The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium makes sense, hence the name. Hmmm now I wanna read up on them. I like how there are so many rabbit holes in the hobby.
...dude
Duuuude
Yes!
