Wasumi Inkspot Medaka 2cm

The Wasumi Inkspot Medaka (Oryzias latipes var.) is a striking and artistic Japanese rice fish variety featuring the distinctive Wasumi (薄墙) body type — a semi-transparent, slightly elongated form — adorned with bold, irregular black inkspot markings scattered across a pale or translucent body. The effect is reminiscent of ink dropped onto rice paper, giving this variety a uniquely painterly, Japanese aesthetic. Each fish carries its own individual pattern, making every specimen one of a kind.
