Description






Oryzias woworae


Scientific Name: Oryzias woworae, Parenti & Hadiaty, 2010

Size:1"-1.5" SL

Distribution: A freshwater habitat on Muna Island off the southeastern coast of the main island of Sulawesi, Indonesia

Temperature: 22.0-30.0�C or 72.0-86.0�F

Feeding: These fish are currently eating Sera Baby Vipagran, Sera O-Nips, Sera Viformo, flake and baby brine shrimp.

Breeding: Keeping and breeding this cute fish is very easy and even beginners in the hobby will be successful. These ricefishes can be kept in moderate hard water, it is thus usually not necessary to mix a special water for them. In all Oryzias species, the female carries the eggs some time along with it after spawning and strips them then on dainty waterplants. Hatching depends on the water temperature, but it takes usually between 2 and 3 weeks. The adults do not show any interest in the eggs, which can be left in the breeding tank. The newly hatched offspring swims immediately under the water surface. Although they are very tiny, they can be easily recognized by the shining eyes that look like a spark. One should separate them now by using a spoon and rear them in a separate tank.

Oryzias woworae, a new species of ricefish, is described from a freshwater habitat on Muna Island off the southeastern coast of the main island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The new species is distinguished from all other known ricefishes by a remarkable color pattern of both sexes in life: the ventral surface of head and body anterior to the pelvic fins, dorsal portion of pectoral fins, dorsal-fin base, posterior portion of anal-fin base, caudal peduncle, and dorsal and ventral portions of caudal fin are brilliant red; the midlateral scales from just posterior to the eye to the caudal-fin base and the body scales anterior to the anal fin and ventral to midlateral scales are steel blue; the blue coloration is most prominent in adult males. Oryzias woworae, the smallest known ricefish from Sulawesi, is hypothesized to be a member of an unnamed clade of ricefishes diagnosed by a truncate, rather than lunate or emarginate, caudal fin. Description of O. woworae brings the recognized number of species in the beloniform family Adrianichthyidae to 29, 13 of which are endemic to Sulawesi. Ricefishes, in particular the new species, may serve as icons to generate interest in conservation of the endemic freshwater biota of Sulawesi.
