Full strain profile
Sunshine Medaka — November 23 Expected Arrival Presale lot
Expected import arrival: November 23, 2026 (preliminary; not a shipping date). Fish are not on hand or ready to ship. Dispatch occurs only after actual receipt, verified stock allocation, acclimation, health checks, safe weather and carrier eligibility. The shipping date will be confirmed after those checks.
Choose your option: Male (1 fish), Female (1 fish), Pair (2 fish), or Trio (3 fish). Male/female selection depends on breeder sexing confirmation. All options draw from one planned 40-fish lot; incoming fish are allocated between the options without double-counting (8 male singles, 6 female singles, 10 pairs and 2 trios). The final male/female selection remains subject to breeder sexing confirmation.
Authentic supplier-provided imagery for reference; actual individual appearance may vary. Live-animal shipping separately: UPS 2-Day $35/box or UPS Next Day $60/box, where eligible. Shipping & DOA Policy.

Visible traits and selection
The Sunshine name is associated with warm golden coloration, reflective lamé and an emphasized head-region metallic sheen. Appearance varies by lighting and individual fish.
Strain history and provenance
Medaka-ya Savanna's published catalog describes a house Sunshine line with a Miyazakura × Himitsu Heiki base followed by Reiwa Bōkyaku no Tsubasa input. This is breeder-reported history, not a certified pedigree for Aquaphoria's individual shipment.
Important strain and lot information
The incoming male, female, pair and trio selections share one allocated lot. Sex confirmation is required for sex-specific variants; do not assume every Sunshine fish has long fins.
These names describe a commercial selection, not a genetic certificate. Product photography is representative; actual live fish vary.
Research background: source-linked strain reference.
Live-arrival & shipping
UPS 2-Day: $35 per box. UPS Next Day: $60 per box. Charged separately from product pricing; free dry-goods shipping does not apply to livestock. Dispatch requires suitable weather, healthy animals and eligible carriers.
Preorder: Ship-out date is unconfirmed and fish are not currently ready for dispatch.
Live-animal orders follow Aquaphoria’s shipping and DOA requirements. Review the policy before ordering so timing, evidence, and arrival conditions are clear.
