About this fish / visible traits
Ryurin medaka are decorative Japanese ricefish sold for their distinctive scale and body presentation. Individual sheen, raised/reflective-scale appearance and pattern can differ; breeder lineage is not verified in this listing.
Detailed traits & researched lineage
- Scale expression: Ryurin/dragon-scale selections are recognized for a pronounced, high-contrast, reticulated scale pattern and reflective silver-to-blue-green highlights. Scales, pattern density, metallic finish and body tone vary.
- Strain terminology: Different Japanese Ryurin histories describe different scale-reflective forms, including Miyuki-related and Kagami-related lines. The exact subtype and founding cross of this shipment have not been authenticated.
- Breeding expectations: This is a two-fish presale pair, with male/female selection to be verified before fulfillment. Adult grade and any exact offspring ratio or specific gene expression are not guaranteed.
Historical strain information is for identification; it is not a certified pedigree of individual fish. Representative photographs may differ from the exact animals supplied.
Medaka arrival and acclimation
Prepare a cycled aquarium or suitable pond with stable water, gentle filtration and secure cover. Receive live fish promptly, minimize temperature and water-chemistry shock, and transfer using fish-appropriate acclimation without pouring transport water into the tank. Dim the lights, monitor closely for stress, quarantine new arrivals when practical, and resume light feeding after the fish settle.
