Oryzias celebensis
Current Size – 4-5cm
Adult Length – 5cm
Temperature Range – 22 – 30 °C
pH Range – 7.0 – 9.0
Special Requirements - Has proven to be adaptable with no special requirements in terms of décor though it tends to be less colourful when maintained in a sparsely-decorated set-up.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility - Very peaceful but doesn’t make an ideal addition to many communities due to its small size.
Should you wish to maintain it alongside other fishes other diminutive species such as Microdevario, Sundadanio, Eirmotus, Trigonostigma, Pseudomugi, pygmy Corydoras and small Loricariids such as Otocinclus comprise the best options, while freshwater shrimp of the genera Caridina and Neocaridina should also be suitable.
Feeding - Unfussy but must be provided with foods of a suitable size.
A combination of crushed or small-grade, high quality dried foods plus live microworm, Artemia nauplii or similar appears to be ideal and adults have also been observed grazing from solid surfaces, so the natural diet may also contain an algal component.
