What is White killifish?
White killifish, as the name implies, is a killifish with a white body color. Although often misunderstood by some, it is different from albino killifish. Albinos have red eyes, while white killifish have black eyes. White killifish are so popular that most specialty stores carry them.It is the most popular killifish among those that can be purchased inexpensively (less than 500 yen per fish). The reason for its popularity is its white color. For example, when it comes to fashion, white or black clothing can be easily matched with any color of clothing. The same is true for killifish. White and black killifish are also popular because they go well with other killifish. However, when it comes to killifish, many people choose white killifish because black killifish can make the other killifish less noticeable in terms of protective coloring and in situations where the black color is made to stand out.

Origin of the white medaka
White killifish, like scarlet killifish, is based on black killifish. The scarlet killifish is a killifish that lacks the black pigment of the black killifish. White killifish is a killifish that lacks the black and yellow pigmentation of the black killifish.So you can see here that it is different from the albino described in the above section. Albinos are characterized by the absence of melanin pigment. White killifish have melanin pigment but no black or yellow pigment. That is how the white killifish was born, so its body shape is not much different from that of the black or scarlet 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 white killifish
White killifish are often available at specialty stores and can be purchased at relatively low prices, making them a good choice for beginners. White killifish are also recommended because they are easy to mix with other killifish as explained in the above section. Not only does it enhance other types of killifish, it also enhances the white killifish, creating a synergistic effect.However, there is a caveat to keeping such white killifish. If you keep white killifish by itself, it will give an impression of tastelessness. If you look at an aquarium where only white killifish are kept, you will feel that something is missing. When keeping white killifish, it is best to mix them with other killifish to show their true potential. Therefore, it is recommended to keep at least one more type of killifish with white killifish.
