This site seems informative. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/6828/Oryzias_javanicus.html

purchased a trio of fish from my pet store, thinking they were tetras. Turns 
out they're Oryzias javanicus. Not the kind on the website, they have the 
wrong pic, from what I've found.

None of them are doing badly, though one of them has a fungal problem on his 
tail I cannot get rid of, after repeatedly dabbing the infection with 
mercurochrome and dousing the water with anti-fungal agents. (Weird thing 
is, once I did that, I had an algae problem that I'd never had before. Huh.) 
Other than that, they're all healthy, in a 7- 7.5 pH 10 gallon, well planted 
and well lit, with a small school of corydoras, which remains between 
seventy and seventy four. I was wondering if anybody had info on breeding, 
or any better tips for their care? Thanks!
