So many medaka fry enjoying dinner

Baby brine shrimp getting circulated by the filter current right into the mouths of these babies. So many babies. Send help 😅

So many fry; send help 😅

These are baby brine shrimp I hatched that are being circulated by the current of the filter/bubbles.

The medaka are growing up in a tiny hatching tank because my planted grow-out tank is still cycling. This is just a portion of the fry. I don't think I transferred this many fry over from my indoor pond; I bet a bunch of eggs came attached to the plants that I added in. Not pictured are also a few white cloud mountain minnow and peacock gudgeon fry.

What's are medaka?
- Medaka are Japanese rice fish. They're very easy to keep, prolific breeders, and people have been raising them with all kinds of colors and styles.
  
  They're bred to be beautiful when viewed from above, and in Japan people often keep them outdoors in small pots. Even over winter!

  Ooh I'll definitely be looking into these when I have more room. Not for breeding I just like looking at fish. I'd be a terrible breeder I'm so forgetful.
