Is this for you?
Perfect if: you want a peaceful, active temperate fish with varied colour and pattern in a planted aquarium or suitable outdoor setup.
Consider something else if: you need every fish to match one exact colour pattern, or your aquarium is permanently maintained at tropical temperatures.
Why choose Assorted Tri Colour Medaka?
This assortment creates a varied top-view display rather than the uniform look of a single-colour strain. Orange, metallic, pale and darker fish provide contrast, while the compact adult size suits thoughtfully stocked smaller aquariums.
Key Benefits
- Varied orange, gold, white, silver, black and mottled appearance
- Peaceful group behaviour
- Well suited to planted temperate aquariums
- Accepts appropriately sized quality prepared, frozen and live foods
Care & Specifications
Provide a mature, well-filtered aquarium with dense planting, some surface cover and open swimming space. A base footprint of at least 45 × 30 cm is recommended for a group. Feed small portions of quality flakes or micro-granules, supplemented with suitably sized frozen or live foods.
What will you receive?
One assorted Medaka selected from the available mixed group. Colour, pattern, sex and exact markings are not selectable unless specifically arranged before purchase. Photos show the actual style of assortment but not the exact fish guaranteed for every order.
Acclimation & Introduction
Float the unopened bag to equalise temperature, then gradually introduce aquarium water before transferring the fish with a net. Avoid adding transport water to the aquarium and keep lighting subdued during introduction.
Ongoing Care
Maintain stable, clean water and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat. Regular partial water changes, varied feeding and a secure lid help keep the group in good condition.
Pairs perfectly with
Fine-leaved plants, floating plants, dark substrate and other peaceful, similarly sized fish that prefer comparable temperate conditions.
NTA Insight:
Medaka usually look and behave best in a proper group. Their colours are especially easy to appreciate from above, making them an attractive choice for shallow planted displays and suitable tubs.
Before You Buy
This is an assorted listing. Individual fish may be predominantly orange, gold, white, silver, black or mottled and may not show three equal colour blocks. Confirm that existing tankmates and water temperature are compatible before purchase.
FAQ
Will my fish look exactly like the photos?
No. The photos represent the mixed group; each fish has individual colour and markings.
Can Medaka live in a heated tropical aquarium?
They tolerate a range of conditions, but this temperate species is best kept within its preferred range rather than permanently at high tropical temperatures.
Should I keep just one?
Medaka are social and are more confident and visually effective in a group of at least eight where stocking space allows.
