Oryzias latipes “Sparkled Blue”

30. September 2024

The popularity of the numerous varieties of medaka (Oryzias latipes) continues unabated. Currently, so-called “sparkled” morphs are increasingly being offered. These are animals with scattered striking silver-white shiny scales. Depending on the basic coloration, “sparkled” is then offered as orange, grey or even blue. 

„Blue” is special in that the fish do not have a blue base coloration, but stand out due to the intense blue-white reflex colors of both the peritoneum and the fin margins. Some also have a blue-white back coloration. An additional name for this breed is Miyuki.

For our customers: Oryzias latipes “Sparkled Blue” has code 339754 on our stocklist. Please note that we only supply the wholesale trade.
