Points about spawning

Many people who keep Oryzias wallae want to breed them. Breeding Oryzias wolae is relatively easy if you keep a large number of them in a tank. To distinguish between male and female Oryzias wolrae, males have a more vivid metallic blue body coloration and are relatively more beautiful. Females have slightly longer tail and dorsal fins with jagged tips than males. Therefore, it is easy to tell the difference between males and females by whether they are beautiful or not.Then, once you are sure that the male and female are well contained, the water plants are used to attach the eggs. Willow moss and lyssia are good breeding plants for Oryzias wallae. The eggs are very small, so check the surface of the aquatic plants daily, and if eggs are found, place them first in a separate tank from the adults. Once they hatch, it is important to feed them several times a day as you would any other tropical fish.

The Oryzias wolrae is recommended for its ease of mixing and breeding, but it is still a new breed that only began to be distributed around 2010, so its price tends to be higher than other small tropical fish because of the small number of specialty stores that handle it and the amount of distribution. Also, they are very sensitive to water quality, which makes them a bit difficult for beginners to handle.However, Oryzias waworae has beautiful body coloration not found in killifish or other varieties. Oryzias waworae is a very attractive species that is not inferior to other species, even when mixed with other species. If you have a chance to see Oryzias wolae in a specialty store, I highly recommend you to take a look.
