Medaka can be raised with guppies, but it is not recommended. First of all, the medaka is a cold-water fish and likes a slightly lower water temperature, while the guppy is a tropical fish and likes a slightly higher water temperature. Medaka live in a high temperature environment for a long time, and their immunity will decline. In addition, their best viewing angles are also different. The best viewing angle for medaka is from top to bottom, while the best viewing angle for guppies is from the side. Mixing them together will affect the ornamental value of one side.

1. Can the medaka be mixed with the guppy?

The medaka is not recommended to be mixed with the guppy, because the guppy is a tropical fish and the medaka is a cold-water fish. Although the medaka can adapt to the water temperature of 0-30 C, if they live in a high temperature environment for a long time, their resistance and immunity will decline. So it is not suitable for polyculture together.

Secondly, their best viewing angle is different, the main viewing angle of the medaka is overlooking, so the medaka is also known as the back medaka, but the best viewing angle of the guppy is the side, if the two are mixed together, it will affect the viewing of one side. Finally, the medaka likes to live in dense aquatic plants, while the guppy is more suitable for raising in bare tanks, both of which have different requirements for the living environment.

If breeders want to keep guppies and medaka together, they should first pay attention to the density of breeding. Medaka are active, and breeders need to prepare enough space for them to survive better. The second is to pay attention to the amount of feeding, because the medaka will not grab food, breeders need to feed separately.

2. What kind of fish can be mixed

with medaka? Medaka can be mixed with zebrafish, mosquito fish, white cloud golden fish, etc. These kinds of fish are mild in character, similar in body shape, and have strong adaptability to the environment, so they are more suitable for mixed culture with medaka. Medaka need to pay attention to the feeding density in polyculture, because they have high activity and strong territorial awareness, and need sufficient space to survive better.
