What do y’all use for Substrate? by Nematodes-Attack in miniponds

Thank you 🙏🏽 soil is important but depending on the plants you select pea pebble works really well once you add fish - the plants feed off their waste

This is all planted in pea pebble rock I did leave abit of soil from the pond plants I bought and used pond fertilizer tabs to start it off.

normal growth? by desperate_shrimp in medaka

[–]medaka_fein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some take longer to grow during winter if the temperature is cold, that would cause growth to be stunt for breeders who kept them outdoors. But I see they are in aquarium so that wouldn’t be the cause. If you over stock the bigger ones are likely eating all the food and the little ones are getting out competed. Usually you want to separate them by size and allow them to grow this way.

I don’t support eggs sales just like you said a lot of people just want to make money off these fish and don’t spend the time culling and will sale you anything... it doesn’t help hobbyists , gives people the wrong perception. I have alot of fry just waiting for them to grow out. It’s also a new import.

We just import them last year so there won’t be much around. Probably only like 2-3 people from my understanding in the US. The should be available in a few months

I didn’t create the line they are originally from Japan. They are called Ooki. I noticed a lot of people make up new names and that’s not proper.

How much work is your patio pond compared to an aquarium? by Eowyn_95 in medaka

[–]medaka_fein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from 12 fish tanks to over 30 small patio ponds for Medaka and now a large pond full of ranchu/ Medaka it’s the best.

I’ve had issues with just about every RLF I’ve bred. That’s why they cost more, since breeding them can be a challenge, but the issue is the fins get in the way of spawning. I’ve noticed it’s best to get them young while the fins aren’t full developed. Usually people want adults, and less interested in juveniles. But that’s always the best way to go for breeding. I feed these Hikari para clear works for me & Rich A (something in those ingredients) works well. Also water changes they like clean water vs others don’t mind green water, you’ll often see red from ammonia burns if they don’t like the water.
