Youkihi Medaka Ricefish – 6 pack

$48.99

The Youkihi Medaka Ricefish is a rare and brilliant orange color morph of the Japanese Ricefish, which is one of the hardiest and most adaptable fish in the world!

The Youkihi Medaka Ricefish (Oryzias latipes, var. “Youkihi”), also known as the Japanese Ricefish or Japanese Killifish, is an extraordinarily adaptable fish species that has been selectively bred into this brilliant bright orange variety. This schooling fish can be the highlight in any peaceful community aquarium and it is a particular standout in the planted aquarium. There seems to be some debate as to whether it should be considered part of the killifish family since it behaves similarly, but is not closely related to most other killifish. This mostly subtropical fish can freely inhabit all salinities of water, from freshwater to fully marine water.
