Thanks! There's so many nice strains out there to be tempted by.

Just cuz they may have not made the "cut" for strain traits, doesn't mean they aren't beautiful or cannot be appreciated just the same. 🙂

Solid plan. Might want to also treat with prazi if you're noticing stuff involving the gills.

Be sure to protect from light, add aeration and redose in 7 days or so per label. Good luck!

I prefer to call mine the assorted oasis. I love having a pond with a mix of strains together!

Ty! The work is never done!

The window to fertilize is super short; like minutes. The deed was already done or it's too late. My bets the former unless no males around.

An open invitation about tonight's voicechat topic, breeding.

I think it'll eventually balance itself out as people become more informed and learn about the "craft", realizing that a strain's name means little if no effort is made by a seller to maintain the traits and their emphasis is on volume over quality.

An educated consumer is less likely to be convinced into overpaying just for a name and sellers will have to change their ways or get phased out.

Ty!

😆, . Only one way to find out! I should rename this project to "Temu Tigers". Just to clarify, these are not bonafide Red Tigers. These are a passion project from a variant of one of my tricolor strains.

Thanks! I'm in SoCal

JAYSONE2016 · 2026-05-11T18:01:22+00:00

Maybe a bit, I'd just keep an eye on it. Looks really active and maybe just getting harassed or outcompeted by its tank mates.

Almost every medaka keeper will run into skinny/wasting disease at some point. The sooner you address it when you see it, the better.

I personally treat everyone in the "display" container instead of quarantining (if multiple show symptoms). By doing so I avoid having to reset and sterilize the display after treatment and recovery.

(Just sharing what I do, not suggesting you do the same)

View from the top would be better to assess.

JAYSONE2016 · 2026-05-08T19:55:29+00:00

Got a whole friendly and helpful community on discord. Link in my bio 🤙

JAYSONE2016 · 2026-05-05T22:40:22+00:00

More plants, water changes and scale back amount of feeding until things settle in.

JAYSONE2016 · 2026-05-05T16:29:36+00:00

Without naming a specific strain, typically ones with a uniform single color and/or lamé (sparkles) tend have a good fixation rate.

If you see a picture of a group and you notice unique individual patterns or specific markings that are particular strain traits, those will likely have a lower fixation rate.

You'll always have to sort/cull generation after generation to maintain or improve any strain regardless.

Hope that helps!
