When the sunlight hits their tank, they look absolutely stunning. I really don't understand why rosy red minnows aren't more popular. They're practically immortal, easy to breed, and look great. What more do you need? 😁

Been photographing some of my medaka strains. Do note these are the indoor colors, but still looking great imp! 😁

Had a bit of misfortune with my fry groups. Might have gotten too cold for them (I suspect it dropped to around 1° - no heater with the frys). Only have 6 left in their tanks. Thankfully there are a couple of fry already with the adult pairs. Might just let them grow up with their parents.
Anyway, these are my main breeders of each strain (still missing gold longfin, contemplating breeding my own; we'll see if glaser has more in spring).

freshly hatched white cloud mountain minnows chillin' on the aquarium glass together with some microscopic worms (that i had no idea was present until this closeup footage) 😎

this should save me some on the electricity bills 😅
been running heaters that can't be set below 22°C for a few days - ever since the water temperature dropped down to 3°C in the WCMM tanks and they went down to the bottom, looking very unhappy. 22°C is costly and expensive (especially here in europe) so hopefully this setup will be a good compromise 😁

bah, and once more the video compression sucks. here's a photo of the yellow medaka with black rim scales.

I think rosy red minnows are way underrated. Sure they're not flamboyant, but I find them very rewarding. Definitely in my top 5 of recommended species!

Putting together a red pair of WCMM (only have one red female) let's see what happens!

Even when they aren't fired up in mating colors, Rainbow Shiners (Notropis chrosomus) are still one of the most beautiful species!

anyone have a good treatment for socks in the aquarium tank? it seems to be a recurring infection... i have already asked my 2 year old son and he says he doesn't have a clue how they end up there either.
