Most of the medaka fish do not have a long lifespan, and due to the hype of many businesses, I always habitually try to work on them as little as possible. Until one day, netizens sent me a picture and said that they liked this sparkling little fish.
At that time, I thought of someone in the movie "Golden Armor", wearing a golden lock armor and calling the wind and rain in the intersection of light and dark, and suddenly wanted to know about this small fish.

At that time, it was given a certain charming quality by my wishful thinking, so that a few days later, I can still think of how the soft light shone on the golden medaka on the dark background, and how the light was lightly emitted by the milky white and yellowish light cluster, so beautiful that it seemed as if time had stood still.
The golden medaka is produced in and around India and is widely distributed in the lower and middle layers of various waters. The Network generally believes that the golden medaka is a middle-class fish, but in some small tanks, it will often stay in the upper layer, resulting in a great discount in the convenience of ornamentation for ornamentality, so for ornamentality, it is best not to use too small a tank, personally feel that 40-60 is better, if you want to mix several kinds of fish, but also consider the use of sunken wood and aquatic grass scenery, may take 60 to start

The golden medaka has a more grumpy temper, eats small fish, and likes to jump the tank, so it is necessary to avoid mixing fish with a gentle and bullying nature like traffic lights, and to cover the aquarium. Many people suggest that it is best to mix with larger, fiercer fish, similar to tiger skins, flag pulling, and configure some aquatic weeds or sunken wood to provide shelter. But many things are relative, some of the personality is relatively mild, the more provocative golden medaka, can be attacked by peacock fish, but there are some particularly strong, and mini parrot polyculture has nothing to do with it. Of course. If you use it for polyculture fighting fish, you must be prepared to be blind at any time.

The golden medaka is tenacious, it will not die immediately from the water, and its skin solidity can even be compared with the fighting fish, of course, in some cases, the fighting fish is not so easy to raise, and similarly, raising the golden medaka in the wrong way will also die. If your golden medaka is dead and complains on the Internet, everyone will say cool words: golden medaka can also be raised to death, which is really rare.
His hometown is in the tropics, but that doesn't mean it prefers higher temperatures. Like the general tropical fish, it is best to let it live in water at 22-27 ° C, once above 30 ° C, the body of the golden medaka is prone to discomfort and even infected with fish diseases. It does not require pH, keep neutral, and a small amount of acid or alkali can be, as long as it does not cause water quality turbulence, it will not die.
If you are sure to raise a few golden medaka, you can go to the Internet to see, its unit price will not exceed 10 yuan, the body length is mostly 4-6 cm, and so on to the 10 cm adult stage, you can also raise two or three years. When this wave of fish is raised to old age, it is probably just the time to lose interest in the golden medaka. It's better to have a new wave of fish.
There was a message that made me even more impressed with the egg medaka. It's a story all over the web, like a legend. Some people say that the eggs of medaka can choose whether to grow according to the external environment. To put it another way: if the outside environment is too dry, the eggs will stop growing and wait for the right time.

In the African savannahs, for example, the devastation of the dry season continues, the river is running out of water, and the area is shrouded in a haze of death. At this time, the medaka took the time to mate a wave, and within a few minutes of laying the eggs, the water dried up. At this time, the eggs will selectively stop growing and slowly wait for the arrival of the rainy season. They can last for three months to half a year, and after the first wave of rain in the rainy season moisturizes these little ones who have been embedded in the dirt for a long time, they grow wildly and quickly find a suitable place to grow, continuing the path that Daddy has walked.
Some people have a sudden idea, boldly extend this message, and hold out such a sentence "a year of raw fish, ancient reincarnation, watching the century", this sentence makes people completely confused, even if it is a cool cold joke at the end of the article.
