Medaka, or Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes), boasts a storied history as one of the oldest aquarium fish, cultivated in Japan for centuries. With ties to rice paddies and remarkable adaptability, medaka became a subject of scientific fascination. Its transparent embryos and ease of breeding propelled it to global prominence as a model organism for embryology and genetics research in the 20th century. Today, medaka remains a sought-after species in the aquarium hobby, combining historical significance with ongoing contributions to scientific advancements.

They lay adhesive eggs on aquatic plants or other surfaces. To hatch the eggs, you can place them in a separate container with appropriate water conditions, maintaining a temperature around 78-80°F (25-27°C) and providing gentle aeration. The eggs usually hatch within a week, and you can then raise the fry with suitable food for their size.
