Love your video, shout out from San Antonio, Texas! I recently started breeding my own, and I just love how interesting and entertaining these tiny fish are, as is their ease of care. Please, keep up the great and informative content!

Great information. What maximum temperature can rice fish tolerate? I am in Australia and we often have 40+deg C in the summertime and outside ponds can become quite warm.

Beautiful fish! Wish we could get those colors in the US

[@hiros_aquarium]

Thank you for your comment. Recently, there have been a few people starting to export these fish overseas. I hope that this wonderful Japanese fish can be enjoyed in the U.S. as well!

hi thank you for nice video , my question is how often do you change water if you do not have filter or plants with medaka ?

[@hiros_aquarium]

Thanks a comment! I usually change one-third of the water once a week. However, the frequency of water changes can vary depending on the number of fish in the container.

Any medaka fish farm that you can recommend to visit in Japan?

[@hiros_aquarium]

I recommend 'Jyoraku ann（静楽庵）'. This shop is located in Okayama Prefecture and offers a wide selection of high-quality medaka.

Hi, thank you for the subtiles. I do not speak english very well but I am able to read it. English is not my mother language. I do not know why, I was always better in reading and bad in listening. 😅 Have your japanese KZbin Channel english subtitles? I can not decide which colour is the best for me to start with Medaka. Once I have seen Medakas with very light blue eyes, with glitter in the body (side) and a brilliant orange all over the fish. At this moment I do not have a second aquarium, so I do not buy them.... I have not seen them ever again. The desciption sayed: Medaka (laptides).

[@hiros_aquarium]

Thank you for your comment. I am currently adding English subtitles to my Japanese videos. Not all videos have subtitles yet, but I plan to add them moving forward. In Japan, the type with an orange body and shimmering scales is called 'Koutei Lame'. Blue-eyed Medaka are also popular in Japan, and most blue-eyed Medaka have a black body color, which makes the blue eyes stand out more due to the contrast. Medaka with an orange body and blue eyes are less common and are known as 'Syutengenryuu（朱点幻龍）'. The Japanese Medaka, Oryzias latipes, can easily crossbreed with different variations, so it might be interesting to try crossing different colors. Let's enjoy Medaka breeding together!

​@@hiros_aquariumThank you very much for the detailed comment. I didn't know that there are also Medaka in black with blue eyes. Could you tell me the name of this variety? I like bue eyes. 😊 I would appreciate it if you could perhaps make a video with the different color varieties and their names, that would certainly help. If, like me, you have no idea what is available, you would have a good starting point. I'm a bit curious, so forgive me for asking: is there a reason why some of your videos have German titles and descriptions?
