Identity and origin
- Origin
- Java and wider coastal Southeast Asia
- Identity
- Native ricefish with freshwater and brackish habitats
A small ricefish reaching about 4.5 cm total length. Its freshwater–brackish ecology makes collection locality and salinity history relevant; it should not be confused with Sulawesi lake-endemic Oryzias.
Habitat and care
Vegetated coastal freshwater and brackish habitats. Habitat and identity reference
Provide planted cover and small foods; match the established salinity history of the verified line.
Design for feeding and movement
Care-planning notes. Confirm exact requirements for the species and source population.
- Check adult dimensions and social needs for this species; small body size alone does not establish aquarium suitability.
- Provide swimming space and refuge, and choose companions with compatible feeding behaviour.
- Match food size to the animal and observe feeding directly, especially when keeping small species with faster feeders.
