Its bright color, small size, and active surface-oriented behavior make it an attractive choice for planted aquariums, patio tubs, and appropriately maintained outdoor ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoukihi Medaka are peaceful, hardy, and social fish that do best when maintained in groups. Unlike many tropical aquarium species, Medaka tolerate a broad range of temperatures and generally do not require tropical-level heat. They are adaptable fish that can thrive indoors or outdoors when provided with stable water conditions, adequate oxygenation, and protection from extreme temperatures and predators. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful \/ Social\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.2–1.6 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 gallons recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 50–77°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–8.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Group Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 or more; larger groups preferred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e A mature, well-filtered aquarium, patio tub, or appropriately maintained outdoor pond with gentle water movement and plenty of surface area.
