Rice Fish and Temperature Tolerance

[Daniel]

I introduced a few rice fish to the pool last summer at Cory's suggestion. I was skeptical at first but time has shown the wisdom of adding the rice fish.

Temperatures in August reached the mid 90s F at the surface of the pond. In February air temperatures didn't get much above freezing for a week.

This video is from a couple of days ago:

During this time the population of rice fish continued to increase. I bet there is just about to be a population explosion over the next month or two.

I'm more curious about that pond setup...it looks amazing.

I'm sure rice fish are pretty close to white cloud and can over winter here also. You'll have too many to count soon lol

I plan to set up a tub in a few weeks time for my ricefish, and leave them out to overwinter. It can reach just below freezing here but I don't think it's any colder than most parts of Japan.
