Information

Oryzias marmoratus is endemic to Indonesia.[5] They are a vulnerable species.[4] This species is found in freshwater within a benthopelagic range. It is native to tropical climates. They are considered to be a species that does not migrate. The maximum length of the species is about 4.1 cm (1.6 in). The males are of a grayish-brown color on the head with darker brown splotches on the body.[2] This species is a non-annual breeder. It can be kept as an aquarium species, but it is known to be very difficult to do so. Humans use them for the commercial aquarium trade.[6]
