[Backyard Medaka Microfarm Journal]

We had 1 talk when we kicked it off on our first meetup. The second one was more casual and we just hung out and sold Medaka and plants. We also did raffles. We hope to get another one going next year when it warms up!

Maybe. I went to the meetup in July I think it was. I was only there for an hour or so. I don't know any bay area people's names. I live a couple hours out. I bought some fish from the labyrinth guy and some water hyacinth from the two guys next to him.

We met for sure. I was the one selling the water hyacinth. Anyways, hope I can get some fish off you next time!

[I am little embarrassed I spent this on fish . . .]

This is a funny post!

I have spent 140 on 2 medaka fish from Japan just a week ago. It did arrive safe and I hope I can get them breeding. 😃

[Medaka Talk]

Hi, I just got into Medaka about 1.5 years ago and I have fallen in love with these fishes.

I have Platinums, Red Caps, Orange, and Tri colors.

It has been very fun collecting these different strains.

 

[Cull or short body medaka?]

Short body is actually a new trend people like, I would try breeding them to see if you can get more short body from them. 

[Medaka pond - need filter?]

I just use plants also to keep the water clean. I do have a bigger fish load in my pond also, so a weekly water change also helps.

 

 

[Medaka Strain crosses]

I would like to know to. Can be a fun project!

[Orange Medaka Rice Fish Eggs and Fungus]

I use methylene blue also but separate the eggs from the mop or roots. I just use a cup and leave the eggs in there with the methylene blue solution and I get a good hatch out of it. 

Some people even performs a water changes for the cups holding the eggs to keep the water clean.

Welcome to the forum! I grew up in Moraga, CA. I have great memories of the San Francisco aquarium!

I also just recently got into medaka when I was offered a bunch of them for free. They seem really fun! I’ve heard there are medaka shows/contests and I would love to see pictures, but my googling has failed me. Have you heard of or seen any medaka contests?

I have not heard about any shows and contests yet here around the bayarea. If I hear anything I'll sure post here about it!
