Oryzias latipes “Sparkled Orange”

21. October 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 blue. 

Oryzias latipes “Sparkled Orange” is basically the good old gold medaka with shiny scales. Incidentally, the intensity of the coloration varies considerably from individual to individual. This is the special incentive for hobby breeders to build up a particularly color-intensive strain through constant selection.

For our customers: the animals have code 339755 on our stock list. Please note that we only supply the wholesale trade.
