If your aquarium is looking for a vibrant and lively addition, it's time to introduce the Oryzias Sp. Woworae Medaka Rice Fish (Daisy's Blue Ricefish). This showstopper sports a shimmering blue and orange body that practically glows under good aquarium lighting. Staying a bit smaller than their other Medaka cousins, these tiny gems top out at around an inch. They look fantastic from the front of a glass tank, but they’re also famous for turning outdoor tubs and patio ponds into a premium top‑down viewing experience. And if your aquascape is feeling a little blue, adding a school of these is a shore‑fire way to brighten things up.

Behavior

• These fish are exceptionally hardy, beginner-friendly, and adaptable to a wide variety of aquarium parameters, including various salinity levels.
• In a standard home aquarium, these active fish are primarily mid- to top-level swimmers.
• They are a deeply peaceful species that should be housed alongside other gentle nano fish and larger peaceful invertebrates.
• They do best in schools of 6 or more and will display their best color and behavior when kept in appropriate numbers.
• This species has the potential to jump, so a well-fitting lid or dense floating live aquarium plants are highly recommended for coverage.

Diet

Feeding Rice Fish is simple. They are omnivores with a healthy appetite and will eagerly eat a wide variety of fish food. To maintain their health, provide a balanced diet of high-quality flakes and micro pellets. They will also readily accept live or frozen foods, such as baby brine shrimp or daphnia, which mimic their natural diet and support optimal energy levels. Feed them small amounts once or twice daily.
