Unlike standard Miyuki-type medaka, which are often valued for strong external shine along the back, Shinkai was selected so the blue color inside the body becomes the main visual feature. This gives the fish a clean, cool-toned look that inspired the name \u003cstrong\u003eShinkai\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning “deep sea.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Daruma body type gives this version a shorter, rounder shape with a cute compact silhouette. Because of the short-body form, individual fish may vary in body shape, size, and swimming style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tub Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor best visual expression, we recommend a \u003cstrong\u003ewhite or light-colored tub\u003c\/strong\u003e. Shinkai is one of the medaka lines that usually shows better in lighter containers because the blue internal glow is easier to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Receive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 5 Deep Sea Daruma \/ Shinkai Daruma \/ 深海ダルマ Medaka\u003cbr\u003e• Healthy, active fish selected before shipping\u003cbr\u003e• Juvenile to young adult size, depending on availability\u003cbr\u003e• Sex ratio is not guaranteed unless stated otherwise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calm tub, patio pond, or planted aquarium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Egg scatterer \/ mop spawner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotos are representative of the strain.
