Medaka is a comprehensive guide to Japanese ricefish, providing detailed information on their biology, behaviour, ecology, and cultivation. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in ricefish, whether they are a hobbyist, researcher, or conservationist.

The book begins with a general overview of ricefish, including their taxonomy, distribution, and natural history. Fritz then provides detailed information on the biology of ricefish, including their anatomy, physiology, and genetics. He also discusses the behaviour of ricefish, including their social interactions, mating habits, and parental care.

In the second part of the book, Fritz examines the ecology of ricefish. He discusses the role of ricefish in the ecosystem, as well as the threats that they face. Fritz also provides information on the conservation of ricefish, including the establishment of captive breeding programs and the protection of their natural habitats.

The final part of the book provides detailed information on the cultivation of ricefish. Fritz discusses the different types of ricefish that are available, as well as the equipment and techniques that are needed to keep them in captivity. He also provides information on the breeding of ricefish, including the selection of broodstock, the spawning process, and the care of fry.
