Gabriel Medaka 2-3cm

The Gabriel Medaka (Oryzias latipes var.) is a premium and ethereal Japanese rice fish variety named for the archangel — a fitting tribute to its heavenly appearance. Displaying a soft, luminous white to pale silver body with a gentle iridescent glow and delicate finnage, the Gabriel exudes a quiet, angelic beauty that is both calming and captivating. A sought-after variety among serious medaka collectors, it is prized for its refined elegance and the way it shimmers softly under aquarium lighting. At 2-3cm, their characteristic luminosity is already clearly visible.
