Oryzias celebensis

Oryzias celebensis, commonly known as the Celebes Medaka, is a peaceful and attractive species suitable for community aquariums. They are known for their vibrant speckled appearances, displaying both iridescent and earth-toned colors with a distinct stripe extending from their eyes to their back fin. The Celebes Medaka often occupies the middle to upper levels of the tank and should be kept in groups of at least six to encourage natural behavior and reduce stress. When choosing tank mates, consider other small and non-aggressive fish to ensure the well-being of all species within the tank. Plants, both floating and rooted, provide necessary cover and simulate their natural environment, helping to boost their sense of security. It is crucial to ensure their environment is maintained with good water quality and consistent parameters for their health and well-being.
