Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers

About Mixed Swimming,Some people often think that killifish can only be kept in the same species, but the real appeal of killifish is in combining them. If you are not particular about this, you can mix any kind of killifish with any other kind of killifish.However, it is best to be careful with killifish of different body types (e.g., Dharma killifish and Hirena killifish). If killifish of different body types are mixed with killifish of normal body type, problems such as inability to eat food may occur. However, there are people who mix killifish of different body types with those of normal body types, so there is no need to be concerned.However, each type of killifish, which is considered a high-end killifish, has its own distinctive appearance and shine, so it is recommended to keep them in a way that allows the enjoyment of each individual (type) rather than keeping them in many different species.

Points about spawning

The point about spawning was explained in the above section that keeping a variety of species is the best part of keeping killifish, and having various species swimming together when spawning will naturally produce killifish with the characteristics of various species. However, that is not always a good thing. For example, mixing red and white killifish can produce pink killifish, but not necessarily red or white killifish, or in the worst case, killifish with a color that is hard to describe. If you want red killifish, you should keep only red killifish because the probability of producing red killifish is much higher,I recommend that you think about what kind of killifish you want when spawning and what color and shape you want your killifish to be born, so that you will have less regret and confusion when raising them and find your own way to enjoy them.If it is just a hobby, I think you will enjoy it more if you stick to the methods that you enjoy, regardless of whether people complain about them. The following page explains the method of spawning and points to note, so please read it as well.

Red and white killifish are very popular, but there are only a few specialty stores that carry them. This is due to the fact that the original distribution volume is small. The reason is that the number of individuals that can be distributed as red and white killifish is carefully selected. The color scheme of red and white is the combination that Japanese people like the most. For example, red and white is the most popular color for the Kohaku Uta Gassen and Koi patterns at the end of the year. That is why Japanese people tend to look at the combination of red and white more seriously than other color combinations. Also, there are two types of Kohaku medaka: those with a beautiful vermilion color and those with a beautiful white color.For this reason, many of the red and white killifish in regular circulation have a very good color scheme and maintain a perfect shade of vermilion and white.
