Daisy's Blue Ricefish / Medakka Species Profile:
 
Common Name: Daisy's Blue Ricefish
Species name: Oryzias woworae
Species Group: Medaka (Ricefish)
Origin: Sulawesi, Indonesia
Maximum Size: Approx 2.5cm
Diet: Daisy’s ricefish are omnivores likely to accept a wide variety of foods. The challenge is finding foods small enough to fit in their tiny mouths. These fish will thrive on a combination of omnivore flake foods, micro-pellets, and freeze-dried brine shrimp or bloodworms. Ideal frozen foods include daphnia, baby brine shrimp, and smaller bloodworms.
Ideal Water temp: 24 - 27 degrees c
PH: 6.0  ->  7.5 (our ricefish breed in 7.4ph water...)
 
Temprement:
The Daisy’s ricefish is a peaceful species that can be quite active when kept in large enough schools. Though they’re gentle enough on their own, these fish are too small for the typical community tank. They’re best kept in a small school in a nano tank or with similar-sized species in a large community tank. 
These fish typically inhabit the middle to upper level of the water column, so they can easily be kept with small bottom dwellers like pygmy Corydoras or small catfish like Otocinclus. Some of the best tankmates may be freshwater dwarf shrimp. The adult shrimp will be too large for Daisy’s ricefish to eat and this species is unlikely to feed on baby shrimp if they’re on the bottom of the tank.
