My lfs had a shipment of Rice fish (Orysias Woworae) and I just had to buy a half dozen.
These are unique little one inch fish with interesting breeding behavior. The female will carry eggs on her fins for a few hours before finding an appropriate place to deposit them.
The colors are mostly orange on the females with blue highlights. The males can be spectacular with deep orange, some times almost a dark red, with some shimmering neon blue.
They also have striking blue eyes. In certain lighting they remind me of Paskai Rainbow fish with the orange/ blue highlights and the blue eyes.
I hope I can successfully breed these guys. One of my females is already carrying a clutch of egges on her fins.
Sadly, I cannot get a decent shot of them but I tried!
You tube has a great video.
