EnvyDontKnow Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Alright, I'm planning to build a scape utilizing a 5-gallon tank homing a handful of Orange Rili Shrimp and some Sp "Pink" Medaka Rice Fish, around 6 of them to be exact. I've seen that pros have been able to home these although in smaller and cube-sized nano tanks? Any precautions or reccomendations for the scape based on this stocking.

T. Payne Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 In my opinion that is kind of small for 6 adult medaka. I bred them for years. I would probably stick to low growing plants to allow for plenty of swimming room as they are a fairly active species. Go bigger is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I kept a group of 6 in a 5.5 for a few months. Totally fine when they're juveniles, imo, but on the small side for adults. I think a 10 gallon would be better suited to their adult size. That said, I think you could totally keep a group happy in a 5 for a long time. Just keep up on maintenance and leave plenty of swimming room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
