Hi I'm located in the UK am I'd love to own more fancy medaka varieties. I keep my fish in a secure greenhouse that is connected to my house. Unfortunately it cannot have any electricity other than solar power. It is insulated and unheated during winter to keep in as much heat as possible. I've kept platinum and miyuki medaka in my container pond for little over a year now and they are thriving and breeding very VERY prolifically but I'm curious if there are any variations of medaka that will survive the winter here , perhaps lame and long finned varieties. Sadly I cannot bring them in the house during winter due to personal matters. I'm especially interested in long finned varieties since I find them extraordinary but they are rarer here. The current fish I have are shown in the photographs. Pls help and advise, I'd hate for something bad to happen to any fish I own 😔🥺🤔🙏

My bladder snails keep crawling out the water up and the side of my container pond, but they only go up and inch and then turn around and head back into the water. Is this normal or something to be concerned about? 🤔😅 My wandering snails are doing it too but not my Ramshorn snails 🤔

I've bred some platinum medaka and the babies ( about 60 of them) are now just under a cm long. I've tried to select ones without deformities and are more silvery or bluish. Unfortunately I cannot keep all of them and I need to get rid of them before winter, I only have one container pond and I'm only keeping the best offspring. These are the parents so there's an idea of what the babies will look like when they are adults. I was planning on selling them for £1-£2.50 each when they are about 1.5-2 cm long. Is this too expensive? What is the ideal or best price for them? This is my first time ever breeding medaka - I bought six platinum medaka ( the parents) for £30 originally. Pls help 🥴

I have several cosmos in pots on my patio,but I've noticed that one plant has produced different coloured flowers throughout the season; dark purple to begin with and fading into white. Is this normal or a weird phenomenon?

This is my first time setting up a filter less, inert container pond. I've now had these six platinum medaka for 3 weeks and they are doing well. They started breeding in three days of having them and have been laying eggs ever since. Since I don't really know if it is that good, it'd be great to know if any changes should be made for the welfare of the fish; the animals come before the aesthetics, I would be devastated if something bad happened to them ( I don't have much money so I work with anything I have) . Thanks 👍🙏😅

I bought six platinum medaka from a store and put them in my container pond. Unfortunately I noticed some don't really look like platinum,one of them doesn't really resemble one either. These are the first medaka I've ever had and they started breeding in three days of having them. Now I've got about 70 fry; some are really dark almost black,some are see through white and one was white with black eyes. I know the adults aren't pure bred but does anyone have any idea of what they might be carrying? 🙏😅

I've had this bonnie spider plant for three years in my greenhouse. But the babies are almost never dropping or cascading, instead they are extremely sturdy and upright. Is this an indicator of something?
