[ARRIVED 31-OCT-2025] Daisy Neon Blue Rice Fish Medaka 2-4cm

Description

Oryzias woworae (Daisy’s Blue Ricefish)

Bright nano schooling fish with striking blue highlights for planted aquariums

Quick Facts

  • Size: ~3–4 cm
  • Tank size: 30L+ recommended
  • Difficulty: 🟢 Easy–Moderate
  • Temperament: Peaceful
  • Best kept: Groups (6+)
  • Plant safe: Yes

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You want a colourful nano schooling fish
  • You enjoy top to mid-water activity
  • You have a planted or aquascaped tank
  • You are happy to keep a proper group

❌ Avoid if:

  • You keep aggressive or large fish
  • You plan to keep just a few
  • You want a bottom-dwelling species
  • You have a completely open-top tank (jump risk)

Why this fish?

Oryzias woworae is known for its bright blue body and red-orange fins, making it a standout nano fish in planted aquariums.

Unlike many nano fish, it prefers the upper levels of the tank, adding movement and colour where many tanks are otherwise empty.

Common mistakes

  • Keeping too few → reduces colour and natural behaviour
  • Keeping in open-top tanks → risk of jumping
  • Pairing with aggressive or fast-moving fish
  • Expecting bottom-dwelling behaviour
  • Underestimating their need for group dynamics

Care made simple

  • Temperature: 22–28°C
  • Diet: Small pellets, flakes, frozen foods
  • Group size: 6+ recommended
  • Setup: Plants, open swimming space
  • Water: Clean, stable

Pair with

  • Micro pellets / quality flakes
  • Planted setups
  • Peaceful nano fish
  • Shrimp-compatible tanks
NTA Insight:
These fish colour up significantly in groups and planted tanks. Many customers underestimate how much better they look in proper numbers.

FAQ

Are they good for beginners?

Yes. They are relatively hardy when kept in stable conditions.

Where do they swim in the tank?

Mostly top to mid-water, unlike many nano fish that stay lower.

Can I keep just a few?

Not recommended. They show best colour and behaviour in groups of at least 6.

Do they jump?

Yes, they can jump, so a lid or covered tank is recommended.

Are they shrimp-safe?

Generally yes, especially with larger shrimp, though very small shrimplets may be at risk.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
