The Orochi killifish will be a killifish that is all black, including the eyes and fins. For this reason, it is sometimes described as the best black killifish. Orochi killifish do not develop a back-ground reaction, so they do not lose their black color even when kept indoors or in an aquarium. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the Orochi killifish and how to keep it.
What is Orochi killifish?
The Orochi killifish will be a killifish that is all black, including the eyes and fins. It is currently the blackest of the black killifish species. For this reason, it is sometimes described as the pinnacle of black killifish.Orochi killifish have overcome the problem of black killifish often becoming lighter in color or turning white in the abdomen when kept in a transparent container. Orochi killifish can maintain its black coloration regardless of the container it is kept in, making it a popular species for aquarium keepers and others. Because Orochi killifish are not widely distributed and are very popular, it is difficult to get a good price for them.
The lame killifish is a killifish that has a shiny, glittery sheen on one part of its body or its entire body. Lame killifish are crossed with various varieties, resulting in a wide variety of lame killifish. For example, there are three-colored lame stemmed killifish and amber lame stemmed killifish. This time [...].
Kohaku killifish have red (red) and white body colors. Because of their easily recognizable body colors, Kohaku killifish are widely favored by beginners and experts alike. Kohaku killifish are crossbred with a variety of other species, and there are many different types of Kohaku killifish with different characteristics. In this article, we will introduce you to such red and white [...].
Origin of the Orochi killifish
Orochi killifish is a variety created in 2016 by Masahiro Tanikuni of Asuka Medaka, a medaka farm in Nara Prefecture. The Orochi killifish has a black lower jaw and abdomen, which are difficult for black pigment spores to penetrate in the black strain of killifish, and each fin is also black, making it a jet-black killifish that has attracted a lot of attention.Another topic of discussion was the fact that killifish with black body color usually lose their body color when kept indoors or in white containers due to back-ground reaction (a phenomenon in which the shade of body color changes depending on the surrounding environment), but Orochi did not lose their body color even when kept indoors or in white containers without causing back-ground reaction.
The eastern red-bellied killifish has a vermilion-red body color and a glowing back. Its body color and glowing back are reminiscent of the rising sun, hence its name, Dongtianhong (the appearance of light in the eastern sky as dawn is about to break).

The golden killifish is a killifish with a golden body color. The golden killifish is one of the oldest varieties of killifish, but it is still very popular. It is the origin of the vermilion-red (e.g., the Yang-Pei killifish) and the amber (e.g., the amber killifish). In this issue, we will introduce you to the [...].
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.

Points to keep in mind when keeping Orochi killifish
The Orochi killifish is a very popular species that is handled by specialty stores. The Orochi killifish is very simple in that its entire body is completely black. Therefore, compared to other killifish, Orochi killifish are not as colorful or showy. Especially when it comes to killifish, the most popular type tends to be the ones with vivid colors. One of the most popular types of killifish is the all-black variety. The fact that it is completely black makes it stand out even when mixed with other species.Also, since back-ground reaction (a phenomenon in which the shade of the body color changes depending on the surrounding environment) does not occur, people who keep killifish in aquariums can now enjoy black killifish, which is also a factor in their popularity. If you are interested in keeping black killifish, please consider Orochi killifish as an option.
