About
Boukyaku no Tsubasa is a long-finned medaka whose black-and-orange aurora body is densely set with glittering yellow lamé, some individuals showing an orange-tinged head, giving an elegant look of scattered lamé and flowing fins. Long-finned lines usually carry lamé poorly, so uniting the two is its highlight, best enjoyed from above in a dark tub. Care is ordinary and outdoor-friendly at 15-28°C, but because lengthening fins make spawning harder, use young fish around six months old for breeding; the trait is only moderately fixed, so select parents with both good lamé and long fins.
