Daisey’s Blue Ricefish (Oryzias woworae) Carrying Eggs

[Fish Folk]

Bought 7x of these Ricefish several weeks ago. 5x survived. They’re in this little densely planted, zero water change 5.5 gal. loaded with duckweed, Java moss, rotala indica, pothos, etc.

It’s a classic “out of sight, out of mind” tank that I toss extra flakes, BBS, etc. into 2x per day.

Well, just having a look... and 2x females are carrying their eggs visibly behind their abdomen.

Its not easy to get a decent photo in the lighting setup. Here’s a video. Look for the two females carrying a load of golden berries...

I honestly think they propagate a fair bit like my Fundulopanchax killifish. I’ll probably just let them go, and see if I can manage to preserve some fry in here. I love their blue eyes!
