-	:~~Unknown~~	+	:This fish does well in a tank of at least {{gal\|40}} or more, at least {{in\|36}} in length. These fish will dig in the substrate, so any plants should either be potted or very well rooted, and any other heavy décor that may be knocked over. They prefer a gravel substrate and dimly lit tanks or tanks with floating plants. There should be an even amount of open swimming space and hiding places.

	So I just got an Iphone (clearly late judging by everyone else on the tube in the morning, all staring at their iphones) and wondered if it would ever be possible to have this site available as an App? Wikipedia does have a free Iphone App now. It would definitely be handy when in fish stores! It obviously doesn't need to be as complex as this site but I have no idea how Apps are made anyway.

		+	I still do have a few ideas that I would like to implement, and an iPhone app is one of those. There are a few things preventing me from working on said project.
		+	*I'm working on my master's thesis and it takes all my time
		+	*I don't have an iPhone
		+	*I believe it costs money to develop for the iPhone... (when our ad revenue gets there we can invest in an iPhone app)

-	:~~How to id~~ the ~~animal~~.	+	:The Japanese Ricefish is a very small elongated and slender fish with a pointed snout and upturned mouth. The anal and dorsal fin are towards the back of the fish and caudal fin is more square in shape compared to equally small fish such as [[Endlers Livebearers]]. The eyes are blue. There are several colour variants. Wild types are pale cream in colour, almost translucent. There are also yellow variant and they area also known to be genetically modified, see below.

	:These fish have been seen genetically modified in other colours using the same method as [[Glofish]]. They will look a lot like the Glofish but without the [[Zebra Danio]]'s stripes. This fish will have the same restrictions as it is a GM product as the Glofish does. They may be referred to as "Fluorescent Ricefish".		:These fish have been seen genetically modified in other colours using the same method as [[Glofish]].
