Medaka Miyuki Brilliant Blue

Miyuki Medaka are known for their intense, metallic blue sheen along their dorsal side. A popular Medaka due to its brilliant iridescence.

Medaka BiColour Black & White

A striking Medaka, defined by the strong contrast between black and white across the body. The pattern and balance of the two colours can vary between individuals, giving each fish its own character. This natural variation is part of the appeal of patterned Medaka and makes every individual interesting to observe.

Medaka Cactus Green

Cactus Green, also known as Saboten, is a distinctive green Medaka characterised by dense lamé, small reflective scales that create a glittering effect across the body. The combination of its green base colour and sparkling lamé gives this variety a rich, almost textured appearance that is especially impressive when viewed from above.

Daruma Miyuki Hi-Grade

Daruma Miyuki Hi-Grade brings together the compact, rounded Daruma body form with the brilliant dorsal shine associated with Miyuki Medaka. The reflective line along the back is particularly noticeable when viewed from above. This combination of body shape and metallic reflection gives the variety a very distinctive appearance.

Medaka Daruma Yohiki Orange

Daruma Yohiki Orange combines the warm orange colouration of Yohiki Medaka with the unmistakable Daruma body form. Daruma Medaka have a shortened and compact body, creating their characteristic rounded appearance. Together with the vivid orange colour, this makes for a charming and immediately recognisable variety.

Medaka Hikari Gold

Hikari Gold combines a warm golden colouration with the distinctive Hikari body type. Hikari Medaka are recognised by characteristic changes in their body reflection and fin shape, including their distinctive tail. The golden colour complements these features beautifully, creating an elegant Medaka that can be appreciated from both above and the side.

Medaka Lame Sanke

Lame Sanke combines a Sanke-style pattern of red-orange, white and black with sparkling lamé scales across the body. The distribution of colour naturally differs between individuals, while the reflective scales add another dimension as the fish moves through the light. This variation means that every Lame Sanke has its own individual character.

Medaka Longfin Gold

Longfin Gold is distinguished by its warm golden colouration and elongated fins. The extended finnage creates a graceful, flowing appearance as the fish swims. It is a beautiful example of how selective breeding in Medaka has developed not only colour and pattern, but also distinctive variations in fin shape.

Medaka Neptune Yellow Blue

Neptune Yellow Blue is a shimmering blue Medaka with reflective lamé scales across the body. The scales can show blue, green and golden tones depending on the light, giving the fish a bright and eye-catching appearance.

Medaka Yellow Head

Yellow Head is characterised by a distinct yellow-to-orange colouration concentrated around the head, contrasting beautifully with its lighter, partially transparent body. The intensity and extent of the head colour can vary between individuals, giving each fish its own recognisable appearance.
