How To Safely Add Fish To Tank
- Set live stock aside with transportation bag in room temperature place for 30 minutes.
- Then transfer bag to float in aquarium for another 30 minutes
- Use a fish net to transfer the live stock by scooping it from the bag into the tank.
Note: Do not release live stocks together with the transportation water into tank.
Keeping Orange Rice Fish (Medaka) in Singapore
Orange rice fish, the warm-toned medaka, are made for Singapore keeping. These hardy, peaceful nano fish tolerate a wide temperature band and genuinely thrive at our ambient 27-29C, so an indoor tank usually needs no heater at all. Their bright orange really glows under sunlight, which is why so many local hobbyists keep them in outdoor tubs and balcony containers where dappled light brings out the colour and encourages natural foraging behaviour.
Acclimatise gently when your order arrives: rest the sealed bag in a shaded, room-temperature spot for about 30 minutes, then float it in the tank for another 30 before netting the fish across, leaving the transport water behind. They suit a planted nano or a small outdoor tub with floating plants for shade and cover, and they breed readily in warm conditions, so a mature display often produces fry on its own.
See our full tropical fish selection, and our guides to aquascaping a medaka tank and the best fish for an outdoor tub help you set them up well.
