The four conditions for the breeding of View-back Oryzias latipes:
Growing to a Breeding State
The body size should reach over three centimeters, be active, and free from deformities or other diseases.
Water Temperature Should Be Above Twenty Degrees Celsius
For areas with low temperatures, an aquarium heater can be used to achieve the desired effect.
Adequate Nutrition
When the body size and temperature reach suitable conditions, View-back Oryzias latipes will exhibit courtship behavior. This behavior usually occurs in the early morning, and you can observe it when you get up early. Once breeding behavior is detected, it is necessary to provide the fish with adequate nutrition, especially for the male fish. Live feeds such as Artemia, algae, and bloodworms can be prepared. If you don’t want to go through the trouble, increasing the feeding frequency is also a viable method.
Sufficient Sunlight
If kept outdoors, there is no need to worry; a balcony is also suitable. If kept indoors in a place with no sunlight, it will need to be moved to a balcony, or a aquarium light should be purchased.

Great tips! I’m curious, for those increasing feeding frequency instead of live feeds, what’s a good daily schedule you recommend?
@CriticX：Thank you for your kind words and excellent question! While the article suggests increasing feeding frequency, it doesn’t specify a schedule. We recommend researching specific feeding guides for View-back Oryzias latipes or consulting experienced breeders for tailored advice.
