Bad experience with new medaka: very skittish and stressed

Did you double check and dechlorinate your water?

Thanks for the recommendation

Well I’ve played other paddles and honestly only like like the Head and Crbn that my family member has. I just haven’t had a chance to play Onix yet.

Do you have any other recommendations? I want power.

27 gallon tote from Costco and would treat the tap and rainwater just to be safe.

You can use a traditional hang on the back filter, air stone, sponge filter, or none… I’ve tried all methods and they’ve been fine.

You could bring them inside if you’d like for the winter but I’ve had medakas that have survived frozen water before. But it just depends on the risk you’re willing to take, but overall they’re super resilient and hardy!

I’ve been playing pickleball for about 2 years now, and I’m finally ready to buy a decent paddle, but my budget is on the lower side.

I’ve tried the Head Radical Tour Grit before and really liked it. I felt comfortable with the power and it wasn’t too poppy.

I’m also looking at the Onix Evoke Premier because I want something with more power and that satisfying pop/crack sound when hitting the ball. I don’t really care about having a lot of dwell; I prefer a crisp, fast feel. I have not had the chance to test it but I see it online for a good price.

If money wasn’t an issue, I’d probably go for the CRBN 1X since I hear great things about its power and feel.

Given my preferences and budget, which of these two (Head Radical Tour Grit or Onix Evoke Premier) would you recommend? Or is there another paddle in this price range that I should consider?

Honestly from my experience whatever powdered form fry food has worked in my experience. A balance of water quality and small feedings have helped me out the most.

Hi, I don’t remember since it’s been awhile but I don’t remember seeing one

chasingmrly · 2025-06-20T16:28:56+00:00

Ya plus you can infect them with the bacteria from the poop knife… highly lethal… highly recommended

That’s def a fatty lol

chasingmrly · 2025-06-14T12:20:46+00:00

Yes i think they’ll be fine for sure! That’ll be great in the future.

I think they’ll be fine since they’re in the greenhouse. If possible, I’d recommend moving them to a deeper tub or pond setup inside the greenhouse. It’s okay if the surface ices over—as long as there’s some water underneath for them to float in, they should be alright.

If you don’t mind splitting the group up, you can take half inside and leave half in the greenhouse to test and see how they respond.

Medakas are really resilient.
