Reported Lineage

Japanese hobby reporting attributes Aoi DA to Medakaya Akkun and describes the strain as a cross between Aoi and Lumina, developed toward a blue tancho-style expression. Because a complete original breeder pedigree was not available for review, Aquaphoria presents this as reported lineage, not a breeder-certified pedigree.

Appearance

Fish may show a cool blue, slate-gray, or silver head; bright pearl-silver body tone; dense reflective lame coverage; metallic shine across the head, back, and sides; and translucent fins. Blue intensity and reflective shine can vary with lighting, container color, viewing angle, stress, and acclimation.

Best viewing: top view or side view. Dark gray, charcoal, black, or deep navy containers generally provide strong visual contrast.

What You Will Receive

You will receive one male and one female Aoi DA Medaka pair. Individual appearance will naturally vary because these are live fish.

Care

Care level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Adult size: Approximately 1.25–1.5 inches
Setup: Aquarium, planted tub, patio pond, or medaka container

Provide clean, conditioned water, stable parameters, gentle filtration or aeration, and adequate surface area. Avoid sudden temperature or water-chemistry changes, especially after shipping.

Feeding

Offer appropriately sized quality medaka pellets or other small prepared foods, supplemented with suitable live or frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp or daphnia. Feed small portions that can be consumed without leaving excessive waste.

Breeding

Healthy mature medaka may spawn regularly under suitable conditions. Females temporarily carry egg clusters before depositing them on plants, spawning mops, or other fine surfaces. Separate eggs when fry production is desired because adults may consume eggs or newly hatched fry.

Shipping & Live Arrival

Live fish are packed carefully for transport. Please review Aquaphoria’s Shipping & DOA Policy before ordering and monitor tracking so the package can be received promptly on the first delivery attempt.
