The Japanese Medaka is an easy to care for fish that does not require complicated care. Eggs should be removed from the mother and placed in clean water where they will continue growing normally. Medaka can withstand temperatures from 7 to 38 degrees Celsius but prefer 15 to 25 degrees. Overfeeding and overcrowding can lead to illness, so they should be fed sparingly and tanks should not become overcrowded. Proper tank management and separating ill fish can help combat disease.
