A charming and resilient nano fish, the Medaka Ricefish is a favorite among aquarists for its adaptability and peaceful nature.

Fish arrived healthy and look great
First time ordering fish online and Daku made it easy and provided wonderful instruction.
Got 3 sets, and they all came in healthy, except for a single DOA, which I expected due to a carrier delay. Not sure which specific types they are, but they all look healthy and colorful! Can't wait for them to grow out!
Got a couple of the mixed Medaka, my first foray into this type of fish. Arrived in great condition and with a variety of colors. Currently happily darting around their new home. Thanks, Daku
Fish arrived healthy and beautiful.
