- Out-of-Stock
Group of 6 selected cream-coloured medaka. The body is mostly cream, with the strongest yellow-orange intensity around the head. Seen from above, a “light from within” effect is often visible in growing specimens, along with reflected colours ranging from mint green to bluish inside the body.
Excellent for controlling mosquitoes in small ponds or city tanks, where the natural predators of mosquitoes struggle to establish themselves.
Beautiful to look at thanks to their varied colours.
They survive all year round in outdoor tanks and ponds, even under ice.
A supplement of 5 euros is charged for the shipping of fish to cover packaging costs.

Name of this colour variant: Cream Medaka

Life expectancy: < 2 years
Description: the body is mostly cream-coloured, with the strongest yellow-orange intensity around the head. Seen from above, a “light from within” effect is often visible in growing specimens, along with reflected colours ranging from mint green to bluish inside the body.
Other characteristics: Medaka are fish that adapt easily to outdoor conditions and are usually kept to decorate aquariums. They are also excellent for keeping in ponds and tanks all year round. The water temperature can vary from 0 to 40 °C, while the size and depth of the container or tank should be at least 50-60 litres and 40-50 cm. In addition, submerged and floating plants provide Medaka with shelter and oxygen.
They do not need any special feeding; in a balanced tank they find the food they need to survive, but if you wish you can also feed them just finely crushed goldfish food.
Be aware that if you feed them they may become lazy and not prey on any mosquito larvae present in the tank.
