medaka rice fish outdoors - 100 yen shopping

A small selection of the sort of medaka stuff you can buy in the 100 yen stores in Japan.

Whoa! We just had Daiso open in Oregon, US. Our Daiso's fish supplies are limited to a small plastic 'critter keeper' and some nets. I wish we had the full range here! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi. I'm told that these days the large 100 yen stores in Japan have so many varieties and types of stuff for sale that it can be quite overwhelming. Some years since I was in Japan but at that time I was not interested in medaka.

Gosh, I'd love one of those photo tanks with the measurements. Can't get anything like that here.

Hi, depends on how much you want to pay? I think you may find something similar at about US$10 incl. int. shipping on ebay if you search maybe "fish photo observation watching tank box". Not sure if they ship to Canada. I don't know if you're aware that amazon.jp.co has an English version of its website. Search for medaka etc and it will produce lots of results ... e.g. medaka for sale in Japan (do not ship overseas but shows prices in Japan) ...... other medaka related stuff, some of which may be shipped overseas but shipping costs maybe about US$25.

How many gallons capacity has your clay pot ? I live in New Jersey USA 🇺🇸 , here our winter droop to 1 Fahrenheit (-17 centigrade) I already buy muy clay pot with medakas I try to leave them there all the winter

[@km-qh3rs]

About 9 to 10 gallons. I've only ever kept medaka in a sub-tropical climate so I'm not really qualified to advise about keeping medaka in a clay pot in your area in -17degC conditions. However I think clay pots are slightly porous and the water in the pores may expand when it turns to ice and the pot may crack. Also my guess would be that there's a high risk of the medaka not surviving outdoors if -17degC temperatures continue for a long period of time. But that's only my guess. Reddit has online an r/medaka community who are usually helpful answering any similar questions you might have.

How big are these pots?

[@km-qh3rs]

A capacity of 35 to 40 liters ... about 9 to 10 gallons.
