| + | {{Basic fish page | ||
| + | |sexing=:In the male, six anterior rays of the anal fin are separated from the rest of the fin and modified into a [[gonopodium]]. Of the six rays the third, fourth and fifth ones are profoundly modified. In the female right pelvic fin is usually absent and her fins are shorter and more rounded in shape. | ||
| + | |tank_compatibility=:These are very small fish and for that reason are best kept in species tanks. They will easily become dinner to larger fish. Best kept in groups of 6 or more. | ||
| − | == | + | |diet=:Should accept a variety of foods including pellet and flake as well as live/frozen foods such as [[brine shrimp]] and [[bloodworm]]. |
| − | : | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. |
| + | |environment_specifics=:While this fish may be sold for freshwater, it really does best in a [[brackish]] environment. Prefers a spacious tank with plenty of open swimming space and little current. | ||
| − | + | |behaviour=:A peaceful loosely shoaling fish. | |
| − | + | |identification=:The Japanese Ricefish is a very small elongated and slender fish with a pointed snout and upturned mouth. The anal and dorsal fin are towards the back of the fish and caudal fin is more square in shape compared to equally small fish such as [[Endlers Livebearers]]. The eyes are blue. There are several colour variants. Wild types are pale cream in colour, almost translucent. There are also yellow variant and they area also known to be genetically modified, see below. | |
