Features and Care of Scale Light Medaka

Scale-light killifish are killifish with each scale having an external light and a special tail fin called a drooping long fin. Scale-light killifish have the characteristics of a scaly pedigree, long fins, and a round light. The scales of the scaled light killifish are characterized by a glittering light and the edges of the scales are well-defined and prominent. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of these scale-light killifish and how to keep them.

What is Scale Light Medaka?

scalelightkillifish_2

Scale-light killifish (Rinko medaka) have reticulate external body lights and long fins. Each of the scales of the Rinko killifish has its own external light. This is why the scales are characterized by a shimmering light. The difference from other types of extracorporeal light is that the edges of each individual scale stand out well.Scale light killifish also have a longfin feature. The long fins of the Rinkoh killifish are a special type of long fin called a drooping long fin. The tip of the long fin is separated from the tip of the tail like the fins of a betta. This unique shape of the tail fins gives the killifish a graceful appearance. The scaled longfin killifish also has the characteristic of a circumferential light, in which the edges of its fins are surrounded by a circle of light. In recent years, the media has been introducing more and more of these killifish.

Origin of the Scale-light Medaka

scalelightkillifish_3

Rinkou Medaka will be a medaka created by Mr. Tarumizu Seiji of Ehime Prefecture in 2019. Rinkoh Medaka was bred by Mr. Tarumi around 2016 by crossing yellow cherry killifish and dream lame killifish (yume lame medaka), and along the way, albino light body forms were also bred together. After that, the species with a new outer light that has a series of shining individual scales that are different from the outer body light of the Mikino killifish and other species is called the "scale bloodline". The strain that strongly represents this scaly bloodline is the scaly-light killifish.

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 scale-light killifish

scalelightkillifish_4

The Scale Light killifish is a killifish with each scale having an external light and a special butt fin called a drooping long fin. The Scale Light Medaka is a new breed created in 2019. It has been a very popular breed since its introduction.The reason for this is that it combines the characteristics of the scale pedigree, the drooping long fins, and the circumferential light, and that they are well balanced and well expressed. The scaly pedigree is easy to recognize because it is not concentrated in a single area, with the scales, the long fins, and the color of the fins being the same for all three. Since the scaly-haired killifish is a new breed, it is not yet in wide circulation. If you are interested in scaled killifish, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
