About this fish / visible traits
Panda Daruma combines the compact short-bodied Daruma form with contrasting Panda-style pigmentation. Individual black/white balance, eye contrast and exact body shape vary; use gentle current and observe feeding.
Medaka arrival and acclimation
Prepare a cycled aquarium or suitable pond with stable water, gentle filtration and secure cover. Receive live fish promptly, minimize temperature and water-chemistry shock, and transfer using fish-appropriate acclimation without pouring transport water into the tank. Dim the lights, monitor closely for stress, quarantine new arrivals when practical, and resume light feeding after the fish settle.
