Medaka fish and mosquito fish have great similarities in appearance, so many people will confuse these two kinds of fish. However, there are still many differences between them, which can be distinguished from these aspects:
1. Reproductive methods: First of all, they can be distinguished from their reproductive methods. Medaka are oviparous fish, meaning that during reproduction the mother gives birth to eggs. But the mosquito fish is different, they are a kind of ovoviviparous fish, that is, will give birth to small fish directly.
2. Appearance: In addition, there are also differences in appearance between the two, mainly reflected in their fins. The dorsal fin of medaka fish is closer to the caudal fin, while the dorsal fin of mosquito fish is in the middle, far from the caudal fin.
3. Reflection: Medaka fish have a more obvious feature, in the case of light exposure, their eyes will reflect light. Mosquito fish, on the other hand, do not have this characteristic and can be distinguished by light exposure.
Medaka and mosquito fish are ornamental fish, they can be put together mixed culture. Their appearance and size are similar, and there will be no conflict when they are raised together. Moreover, they are omnivorous fish, body characteristics are relatively consistent, put together to raise is also easier to regulate the surrounding environment. However, when mixed, the number should not be too large, and adequate food should be provided.
