Waboku Seiko Medaka 2-3cm

The Waboku Seiko Medaka (Oryzias latipes var.) is a refined and artistically inspired Japanese rice fish variety whose name evokes the aesthetic of traditional Japanese art — "Waboku" referencing a harmonious, Japanese-style beauty, and "Seiko" meaning "star light." This variety displays a soft, translucent to pale body adorned with delicate iridescent star-like markings that shimmer gently under aquarium lighting, creating an effect of quiet, understated luminosity. A premium variety deeply rooted in Japanese medaka culture and highly sought after by collectors.
