Daisy’s Blue Ricefish (Oryzias woworae)

Daisy’s Blue Ricefish is a small, strikingly coloured freshwater fish with brilliant blue fins and a subtle silver body. Peaceful and hardy, it adds vibrant colour and delicate movement to planted aquariums and nano setups.

Origin:
Native to Sulawesi, Indonesia, these ricefish inhabit shallow, slow-moving waters, often in rice paddies and small streams with dense vegetation.

Behaviour & Tank Role:

• Peaceful, active schooling fish; best kept in groups of 6 or more.

• Mid-to-top dwellers; complement other small, non-aggressive species.

• Ideal for nano, planted, or community tanks where their colours can shine.

Care Requirements:

• Tank Size: 20L+ for a small school.

• Temperature: 23–28°C

• pH: 6.5–7.5

• GH: 4–12 dGH

• TDS: 100–200 ppm

• Provide gentle flow, floating plants, and open swimming areas.

Feeding:
Omnivorous: accepts micro-pellets, finely crushed flakes, frozen foods (daphnia, brine shrimp), and small live foods. Feed small amounts 1–2 times daily, removing uneaten food to protect water quality.

Breeding Tips:

• Egg scatterers; lay eggs on fine-leaved plants or spawning mops.

• Eggs hatch in approximately 7–10 days.

• Fry are very small and require infusoria or liquid fry food initially, then gradually transition to baby brine shrimp and micro foods.

• A separate breeding tank with stable water parameters increases survival rates.

Why Choose Daisy’s Blue Ricefish?
Their compact size, peaceful temperament, and vibrant blue fins make them a standout for nano and community aquariums. They are hardy, active, and perfect for aquascapers and hobbyists looking to add colour and life to smaller tanks.
