Orange Medaka Ricefish
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.
Known for their stunning coloration, peaceful temperament, and adaptability, these hardy little fish are a favorite among both beginner and experienced aquarists. Native to Japan, Orange Medaka Ricefish thrive in a wide range of conditions and can even be kept outdoors year-round in mild climates. Their coloration intensifies under natural sunlight and they have fun personalities.
These fish are adult shrimp-safe, however, we recommend having sufficient plants or hiding spots for aquariums with both Orange Medaka Ricefish and freshwater shrimp.

The fish arrived quickly and looked vibrant. They’ve been in my tank for two weeks and their colors have brightened under the natural light. Very active and peaceful, they don’t stress other tank inhabitants.
Nicholas Dowd –
I’m a beginner and was worried about compatibility with my shrimp. The instructions were clear and I added plenty of plants. The fish are calm and have adapted well to the tank.

The color change after a few days of sunlight was impressive. They swim around happily and seem to enjoy the environment. Easy to care for and a great addition to a small tank.
