What is tricolor killifish?
The tricolor killifish is a killifish with three body colors: red, white, and black. Each of the three colors is clearly expressed, and individuals with a good balance of all three colors are very beautiful and popular.Compared to Nishikigoi, killifish are smaller than Nishikigoi, and there are few killifish that have all three colors in good balance. The red color of the best individuals inherits the vermilion-red color of the Yang Kai Medaka, while the white color inherits the color of the Mikiyuki line, giving the Mikiyuki Medaka its unique brilliance. The black color inherits the jet-black color from the Black killifish and other killifish to complement the other two colors. Individuals with these colors are very rare and can be very expensive.

Origin of the tricolor medaka
The tricolor killifish is a variety that was created around 2012 by adding black brocade killifish to the Yangtze transparent scale killifish.Because they are bred mainly from vermilion-red killifish, as typified by the Yang's killifish, many of them have vermilion-red body coloration. Since even a single killifish is beautiful, various varieties have been produced by enthusiasts throughout Japan. For example, the "three-color swallow killifish" has been created by increasing the percentage of red among the three colors and by adding characteristics to the fins.

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.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

Points to keep in mind when keeping tricolor killifish
Tricolored killifish may be available at some specialty stores. However, the price of tricolor killifish varies greatly depending on the individual. Therefore, if you want a good one, the price may be expensive. On the other hand, inexpensive Medaka may not have the right body color or the balance of the three colors may be too subtle, so we recommend that you see and judge for yourself.For those who breed tricolor killifish, it is one thing to breed tricolor killifish, but the odds tend to be better if you breed individuals that are well colored in each color. As I explained earlier, perfect individuals are expensive, so the number of animals used for breeding is reduced, but individuals of any one of the three colors are often available at low prices, so using them will allow you to increase the number of animals used for breeding and thereby increase the number of spawns. This will increase the number of fish used for breeding, which in turn will increase the probability of producing a good population of killifish. Although there is a great deal of individual variation among killifish, the best killifish are the most attractive among all killifish.
