Tank Size: Orange Medaka are small fish and can thrive in a small aquarium or even a nano tank, starting from 5-10 gallons.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 68-78°F (20-26°C). They can adapt to a broad pH range, but a slightly acidic to neutral pH around 6.5-7.5 is ideal.
-
Filtration: Use a gentle filtration system to prevent strong currents, as Medaka prefer still or slow-moving water.
-
Aquascape: Provide live plants, floating plants, and gentle lighting. These fish appreciate some cover, so include plants and hiding spots in the aquarium.
-
Tank Mates: Orange Medaka are peaceful and can coexist with other small, non-aggressive fish. However, avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
-
Diet: They are omnivores and will accept a diet of high-quality flake or pellet foods. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and micro worms.
