Platinum Medaka 2cm

The Platinum Medaka (Oryzias latipes var.) is a breathtaking colour form of the Japanese rice fish, displaying a pure, gleaming white to silver body with a brilliant metallic sheen that catches and reflects light beautifully. Clean, luminous, and elegant, the Platinum variety is a standout in any planted nano tank or outdoor tub — particularly striking against dark substrates and lush green plants. Hardy and easy to keep, it is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced medaka enthusiasts alike.
