The Daisy's Blue Ricefish (Oryzias woworae),, is an exceptional fish species that is perfect for the nano aquarium due to its very small size, vivid coloration, and adaptability. This schooling fish can be the highlight in any peaceful community aquarium and it is a particular standout in the planted aquarium.
The Daisy's Blue Ricefish typically occupies the middle and top level of the water column. It is safe with other peaceful, small fish. Due to its small size, it can be viewed as similar to microrasboras and blue-eye rainbowfish as far as its compatibility with dwarf shrimp. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates. When keeping the Daisy's Blue Ricefish with dwarf shrimp, plenty of plants and cover are recommended. It is also best to introduce the dwarf shrimp to the aquarium before introducing the Daisy's Blue Ricefish.
