The average life span of medaka is about 3-4 years, which is shorter than that of other ornamental fish. And they are more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, if the breeding environment is poor, and food and nutrition are relatively scarce, then their life span will be relatively reduced. In addition, their ability to resist diseases is weak, and if they often get sick because of environmental changes, their life span will be reduced a lot.
How long can a medaka live and how big can it grow?

1. How long

can the medaka live? The medaka can live for 3-4 years under normal feeding conditions, which is a relatively short life span among ornamental fish. And they are naturally sensitive to the surrounding environment and are often used to detect water quality, so when the surrounding environment is poor, their life span will be reduced. And their resistance is weak, if the environment is unstable, they are more likely to get sick, often sick will reduce their life span, and some will even die directly. If breeders want the medaka to live longer, it is best to ensure that the surrounding environment is stable and that they are given adequate and nutritious food.

2. How big

can the medaka grow? The medaka is a small ornamental fish. If it is raised normally, its adult body length can reach 2-3 cm, and some with better physique can reach 4 cm. The body length of medaka raised at home is usually not too long, because the environment is not stable enough, and medaka are very sensitive to environmental changes, if the environment fluctuates greatly, it will affect their growth and development. Although they are smaller in size, they are more active and territorial, and breeders need to prepare a larger tank for them to ensure that they have enough space to move. If conditions permit, some aquatic plants can be planted in the fish tank for them to avoid and play.
