COLORFUL Ricefish for my Indoor MINI POND! Japanese Medaka Ricefish

Рет қаралды 89,823

Күн бұрын

Finally bought some colorful japanese ricefish for my indoor mini pond! These are called medaka here in japan and they look like guppies, mollies, platys. However, they are not the same. Ricefish are Oryzias latipes. In the future, I will make a in-depth video about ricefish and how to care for them. Hope you liked this video and like the new additions to my indoor mini pond :)

Im redoing my Patio Pond since it got infested with snails, but I'm so glad I have them since Washington Weather is really close to Japan Weather. It was actually You and Cory that really made me want them xD. Medaka are Extremely Hard to find in the US since theyre not that popular, but Awesome Video as always Ryo! Stay Safe

Really enjoy your mini-pond. Further inspiration to set up an indoor mini-pond in my house. I’m thinking of growing rice in my mini-pond. Perfect for rice fish don’t you think? I had problems with mosquito larvae in one of my outdoor ponds. I introduced some “wild type” guppies without aging the water properly. They had died and the mosquito larvae started growing a few days later. Reintroduced some more wild guppies and they promptly ate the larvae. Nice drip system for acclimating your rice fish to their new home. I need to get a valve like you have on the end to try that. Thanks!

Just loved this video. I want to start a small planter pond. the idea of no heater, filter, or light is very attractive. I live in the US, Las Vegas, Nevada which is a very dry desert climate so I could never do anything like this outside. Water evaporation is about 2 gallons (sorry, imperial measurements) every day or so. makes it a challenge. I've never seen rice fish here in Las Vegas, but I could use minnows.

Ryo, Loving your work.Really enjoyable to see what you are up to and those glimpses of your neighbourhood are great too. I have several outdoor mini-ponds like you....they just seem to breed don't they?!!? I have WCMMs (White Cloud Mountain Minnows) that are very similar to your Medaka. They are great at keeping the mosquito population down---I never see any larvae in their tanks. Here in New Zealand they stay in situ all year around. Regarding the algae---my 'rule of thumb' is if I keep 60-70% of the water surface either covered with plants or shaded, then too much algae is never a problem.I think everyone should have some algae for a balanced system.You can remove the excess from time to time but leave some for the cleaning crew! You are heading into hot weather now so you should make sure your fish aren't cooking in that shallow water! I fill mine to the top.

Hey man, I'm trying to set up a betta fish tank in my Verandah room and wanted to know what type of focus light are you running? What wattage is it ? And You are facing algae issues in the other mini pond maybe because there's too little water to cycle up ammonia and the plants aren't absorbing it fast enough. I have built a big pond with a vertical sump attached beside it wherein i want to put some Gouramis to just eat the mosquito larvae
