White Telescope Medaka 2-3cm

The White Telescope Medaka (Oryzias latipes var.) is a fascinating and distinctive Japanese rice fish variety featuring the unique "telescope" eye trait — enlarged, protruding eyes that give the fish a wide-eyed, endearing appearance reminiscent of telescope goldfish. Set against a clean, pure white body, the telescope eyes create a striking and memorable look that is unlike any other medaka variety. At 2-3cm, their characteristic eye structure is already clearly visible, making them an immediately recognisable and conversation-starting addition to any collection.
